Описание: Johnson, born weak and half-blind, shambolic and poverty-stricken, became one of the most quoted man in the eighteenth century. Thrown out of Oxford for a lack of funds, he rose to celebrity: author of the Dictionary, a friend to the king, companion of Reynolds, Goldsmith and Garrick. This book presents a portrait of Johnson, his life and world.
