Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Samuel Johnson was a well known literary figure in England. Johnson was an author, lexicographer, biographer and critic. His book A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland (1775) is a travel narrative about an eighty-three day journey through Scotland, in particular the islands of the Hebrides, in the late summer and autumn of 1773. It contains Johnson's descriptions of the customs, religion, education, trade, and agriculture of a society that was new to him. The sixty-three year-old Johnson was accompanied by his thirty-two year-old friend of many years James Boswell, who was also keeping a record of the trip, published in 1785 as A Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides.
