About this audiobook

BoswellÕs biography of his friend and hero Samuel Johnson is an acknowledged classic, full of humorous anecdote and rich characterisation. JohnsonÕs complex humanity (his depression, fear of death, intellectual brilliance and rough humour) is set within a vivid picture of eighteenth-century London, peopled by personalities of the time such as Sir Joshua Reynolds, John Wilkes, Oliver Goldsmith and David Garrick.
