The Life of Samuel Johnson (Wordsworth Classics)塞缪尔o约翰逊传 电子版 免费 pdf 下载 azw3 fb2 caj mobi

　　The 22-year old James Boswell first met Johnson, who was then aged 54, in 1763. Nine years later he wrote in his journal of his 'c***tant plan to write the life of Mr Johnson'. Boswell was tireless in his search for authenticated proof, and his training as a lawyer helped him sift the evidence of friends and to operate forensically on Johnson himself. Boswell drew him out as no one else could, and although three-quarters of the book concerns the last twenty years of Johnson's life, his skill in c***tructing the early years is remarkable. The text of this complete and unabridged edition is that of the 1791 first edition, and it remains, by common c***ent, the greatest biography in the English language. Johnson's centrality in 18th century letters is established not only by Boswell's record of his life and conversati***, but also by the success of the work in placing him in a li***ry and cultural context. James Boswell (1740-95) was educated at Edinburgh and Glasgow universities as a lawyer. He moved to London in 1760, and was by turns a libertine and a Puritan. Introduced by his friends Sheridan and Garrick, Boswell met Johnson in 1763, and discovered a life's calling.
