Sinopsis de THE JOURNAL OF A TOUR TO THE HEBRIDES WITH SAMUEL JOHNSON, LL.D

In James Boswells The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson, LL.D, readers are transported back to the literary landscape of 18th-century Scotland as they follow the intimate journey of Boswell and the renowned Dr. Samuel Johnson through the rugged beauty of the Hebrides. This travelogue offers a unique blend of personal observation, intellectual conversation, and vivid descriptions of the stunning landscapes they encounter. Boswells writing style is engaging and conversational, providing readers with a glimpse into the complex friendship between the two travelers and the intellectual exchanges that shaped their perspectives on life and literature. The books exploration of culture, history, and the power of friendship makes it a valuable literary contribution to the time period. James Boswell, a Scottish biographer and diarist, drew upon his personal experiences and close relationship with Johnson to create this masterful account of their journey. His deep admiration for Johnsons intellect and wit shines through in the pages, offering readers a deeper understanding of both men as individuals and friends. Boswells meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of their journey make this book a compelling read for anyone interested in literature, travel, or intellectual history. I highly recommend The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson, LL.D to readers who appreciate richly detailed travelogues, engaging historical accounts, and thought-provoking discussions on literature and friendship. Boswells unique perspective and narrative style make this a timeless work that continues to captivate and inspire readers across generations.

Escrito por James Boswell


James Boswell
James Boswell (Edimburgo,1740-Londres,1795). Estudió derecho en la universidad de Glasgow. Realizó numerosos viajes por Europa, en los que se relacionó además con personajes relevantes de su tiempo. Fruto de todo ello es, entre otros, Boswell on the Grand Tour: Germany and Switzerland (1763-1764), An Account of Corsica (1768) o el Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides (1785). Pero su obra mayor es la biografía de Johnson (a quien conoció en 1763) que hoy presentamos por primera vez completa en español.
