A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland: With the Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides; Introduction by Allan Massie [With Ribbon Marker] Tapa dura - 2002
de Samuel Johnson; James Boswell; Introduction by Allan Massie
Resumen
Book by Samuel Johnson, published in 1775. The Journey was the result of a three-month trip to Scotland that Johnson took with James Boswell in 1773. It contains Johnson's descriptions of the customs, religion, education, trade, and agriculture of a society that was new to him. The account in Boswell's diary, published after Johnson's death as The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, with Samuel Johnson, LL.D. (1785), offers an intimate personal record of Johnson's behavior and conversation during the trip.
Información de la editorial
Descripción de la solapa
In 1773, the great Samuel Johnson-then 63-and his young friend and future biographer, James Boswell, traveled together around the coast of Scotland, each writing his own account of the 83-day journey. Published in one volume, the very different travelogues of this unlikely duo provide a fascinating picture not only of the Scottish Highlands but also of the relationship between two men whose fame would be forever entwined.
Johnson's account contains elegant descriptions and analyses of what was then a remote and rugged land. In contrast, the Scottish-born Boswell's journal of the trip focuses on the psychological landscape of his famously gruff and witty companion, and is part of the material he was already collecting for his future "Life of Samuel Johnson, the masterly biography that would make his name.
Read together, the two accounts form both a unique classic of travel writing and a revelation of one of the most famous literary friendships.
