The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia
ISBN: 9780141439709 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia, leaves the easy life of the Happy Valley, accompanied by his sister Nekayah, her attendant Pekuah, and the much-travelled philosopher Imlac. Their journey takes them to Egypt, where they study the various conditions of men's lives, before returning home in a "conclusion in which nothing is concluded."

Preface to Shakespeare
ISBN: 9781502936899 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. That praises are without reason lavished on the dead, and that the honours due only to excellence are paid to antiquity, is a complaint likely to be always continued by those, who, being able to add nothing to truth, hope for eminence from the heresies of paradox; or those, who, being forced by disappointment upon consolatory expedients, are willing to hope from posterity what the present age refuses, and flatter themselves that the regard which is yet denied by envy, will be at last bestowed by time.

Johnson himself wrote in 1782: "I know not that I have written any thing more generally commended than the Lives of the Poets."
