Inhaltsangabe
An exhilarating book about James Boswell - the father of modern biography. The man who, most of all, wanted to be like his 'mental physician' Samuel Johnson. This entertaining and provocative book uniquely concentrates on the years after Johnson's death, during which Boswell, through all his trials and sorrows, remained dedicated to the task of depicting his friend 'more completely than any man who has ever yet lived'. Sisman writes brilliantly and thoroughly, about troubling biographicalissues of intrusiveness, discretion, authenticity and biographical 'truth'. 'A triumph!' - Francis Wheen

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. James Boswell died a disappointed man, considered by his contemporaries to be a "foolish failure". Yet today his "Life of Johnson" is esteemed as the template for modern biography and Boswell himself is regarded as a formidable, if somewhat anti-heroic intellect in his own right. Sisman provides not only an account of Boswell's life but a creative investigation into how Boswell managed to be simultaneously so risible and outstanding and, by extension, an investigation into the nature of biographers and biography. Making use of Boswell's letters and journals (only recently uncovered and unhindered by the constraints of academia), Sisman's book depicts Boswell and the 18th-century world he lived in with clarity and frankness. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR003553372
