The most celebrated English biography is a group portrait in which extraordinary man paints the
picture of a dozen moreAt the centre of a brilliant circle which included Burke, Reynolds, Garrick,
Fanny Burney and even George III, Boswell captures the powerful, troubled and witty figure of
Samuel Johnson, who towers above them all. Yet this is also an intimate picture of domestic life,
which mingles the greatest talkers of a talkative age with the hero's humbler friends in a picture
which is, before all things, humane.As a young man about London, James Boswell was obsessed
by literature, and, on a fateful day in 1763, he attached himself with unswerving tenacity to the
dominant literary figure of his age12 the splendidly rotund, articulate, and humane Dr Samuel
Johnson. What followed was the most famous of friendships between writers and the bais for the
remarkable documentation contained in Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson, the greatest and most
compelling of all biographies.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading
publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin
Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres
and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions
and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations
