Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Imagine an enthusiastic young man who encounters a scholar he idolizes. For decades, he accompanies this figure, meticulously recording everything his idol does or says: whom he visits, what he eats, with whom, in which pubs, and the conversations that unfold. Picture the scholar as witty, highly educated, tempestuous, quick-witted, and a profoundly contradictory, free, and fascinating spirit. The young man is sensitive and possesses a sense of humor. This scenario encapsulates the essence of the most famous biography of all time: James Boswell's life description of Dr. Samuel Johnson, the writer, lexicographer, and literary authority of the 18th century. From the captivating portrait of an extraordinary man emerges a vivid depiction of his era and our European culture.
