Samuel Johnson : A Biography
Attribution
Peter MartinPublication Details
BookHarvard University Press2008Description
Benefiting from recent critical scholarship that has explored new attitudes toward Johnson, Martin?s biography gives us a human and sympathetic portrait of Dr. Johnson. The Johnson that emerges from this enthralling biography, published for the tercentenary of Johnson?s birth, is still the foremost figure of his age but a more rebellious, unpredictable, flawed, and sympathetic figure than has been previously known.

The Same Man : George Orwell And Eveyln Waugh In Love And War
Attribution
David LebedoffPublication Details
Book1st edRandom House2008Description
Waugh and Orwell would meet only once, as the latter lay dying of tuberculosis, yet as The Same Man brilliantly shows, in their life and work both writers rebelled against a modern world run by a privileged, sometimes brutal, few. Orwell and Waugh were almost alone among their peers in seeing what the future?our time?would bring, and they dedicated their lives to warning us against what was coming: a world of material wealth but few values, an existence without tradition or community or common purpose, where lives are measured in dollars, not sense.
