Samuel Johnson - With a New Preface

Viac o knihe

John Wain, author presents a major new biography of England's greatest man of letters. He describes how "Johnson often mixed with people who were desperate human wrecks, some of whom were close friends; to the end of his life he filled house with people who were not successes in the eyes of the world, yet at the same time he conversed on equal and bettter than equeal terms with the most important and brilliant people of that time."
