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'. Johnson's tale is not only a satire on optimism, but also an expression of truth about the human mind and its infinite capacity for hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johnson, Samuel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54261390049464,"sku":"9780141439709","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9780141439709.jpg?v=1791380917","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9780141439709","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
