Download The Life of Samuel Johnson AudioBook Free
Charming, vibrant, witty and edifying, The Life of Samuel Johnson is a work of great obsession and boundless reverence. The literary critic Samuel Johnson was 54 when he first came across Boswell; the friendship that developed spawned one of the greatest biographies in the history of world books. The e book is packed with funny anecdote and wealthy characterization, and paints a vibrant picture of 18th-century London, peopled by prominent personalities of that time period such as Sir Joshua Reynolds, John Wilkes, Oliver Goldsmith and David Garrick, while also offering a compelling understanding into Johnson's complicated humanity - his despair, fear of death, intellectual brilliance and abrasive humor.
