Olá, meu nome é Finn e vou ajudar você a entender este livro.

Aqui está, explicado como se você tivesse 10 anos:

Rasselas é um príncipe que tem tudo. Vive num vale encantador onde os criados satisfazem todos os seus desejos, e mesmo assim está inquieto e triste. Por isso foge para o mundo largo com a sua irmã e um amigo sábio para ver como vivem as outras pessoas, ricas e pobres, casadas e solteiras, velhas e novas, na esperança de encontrar a vida feliz. Johnson faz uma grande pergunta numa história curta e graciosa: o que torna realmente uma vida boa?
