Sobre este artículo
Farrar Straus Giroux, August 2001. First American. Hardcover . Very Good/Very Good. A heroic, brilliantly detailed portrait of the biographer as artist, 'Boswell's Presumptuous Task' shows movingly how a man who failed in almost everything else produced a masterpiece. Sisman traces the friendship between James Boswell and Dr. Samuel Johnson and how Boswell came to write one of the greatest and most entertaining books in the English language. Very light shelf wear on the jacket. One lightly bumped corner
Sinopsis
James Boswell's The Life of Samuel Johnson is the most celebrated of all biographies, acknowledged as one of the greatest and most entertaining books in the English language. Yet Boswell himself has generally been considered little more than an idiot and condemned by posterity as a lecher and drunk. How could such a fool have written such a book? With great wit, Adam Sisman here tells the story of Boswell's presumptuous task-the making of the greatest biography of all time. Sisman traces the friendship between Boswell and Samuel Johnson, his great mentor, and provides a fascinating account of Boswell's seven-year struggle to write The Life of Samuel Johnson .
