约翰逊博士是十八世纪英国文坛的祭酒，他曾费时七年独立完成睥睨英国文坛的《英文字典》，而他如大熊星座般君临众星的魅力，则在他那充满人生智慧的谈论对话、罕见的巧妙言谈、那意想不到的比喻、卓越的修辞、洋溢的机智中体现，这使得史蒂文森每天都要像读《圣经》那样读上一些，英国语言学家乔艾特更是为之着迷，前后手不释卷地读了五十遍。作者包斯威尔从二十三岁起便与约翰逊成了忘年的莫逆之交，他立志把这位文坛巨擘一点一滴挖掘出来。对爱好智慧的现代人来说，本书正是一座睿智的宝库。在这部千古绝唱的传记中，读者除了看到因缅怀往事而产生的逼人才华、光彩夺目的文字外，还可看到包氏本人的悲剧精神，及由此而生所洋溢的两位不平凡人物的温馨友情。近代传记大师莫洛亚曾赞叹包氏是现代传记文学之父。此书业已成了世界最伟大不朽之传记文学的经典之作。读者可以每十年看一次，而且愈看愈有味，同时领会杰出传...(展开全部)
