"We are all prompted by the same motives, all deceived by the same fallacies, all animated by hope, obstructed by danger, entangled by desire, and seduced by pleasure."This book is a biography of the man who wrote those words about three hundred years ago, the great man of letters of the eighteenth century, Samuel Johnson. And it has a special purpose: presenting the story of Sam's life in a shorter form than any other researched biography, and conveying that story in a style that's clear and accessible for any general reader. Sam is a fascinating and complex man, and My Sam Johnson will introduce you to him for the first time or make you appreciate him even more.
