Nur 13 Jahre lang (von 1756 bis 1769) war Korsika ein selbständiger, demokratischer Staat. Zeitgenossen verfolgten die Entwicklung der korsischen Republik unter Pasquale Paoli mit größter Aufmerksamkeit verfolgt. Die 'Historisch-geographische Beschreibung von Corsica' des jungen Schotten James Boswell (1740–1795) bietet Gelegenheit, dem Freund Paolis und Rousseaus während des Entstehens einer frühen europäischen Demokratie über die Schulter zu schauen. Er bereiste die Insel im Jahr 1765 – sein Bericht ist ein lebendiges Zeugnis! Aus heutiger Perspektive kann das Werk (gerade in der zeitgenössischen Übersetzung von 1768/69) als großes historisches Gemälde mit durchaus utopischem Gehalt gelesen werden: Korsika, wie es sich hätte entwicklen können, und die Sprach- und Denkbewegungen des 18. Jahrhunderts.

Samuel Johnson was a poet, essayist, dramatist, and pioneering lexicographer, but his continuing reputation depends less on his modest literary output than on the fortunate accident of finding an ideal biographer in James Boswell. Surely no other biographer can have had more devotion to his subject, more opportunity to study him, or more talent in bringing him vividly to life than Boswell in his Life of Johnson . As Johnson's constant and admiring companion, Boswell was able to record not only the outward events of his life, but also the humour, wit, and sturdy common sense of his conversation. His brilliant portrait of a major literary figure of the eighteenth-century, enriched by historical and social detail, remains a monument to the art of biography.

James Boswell, Rechtsanwalt und Schriftsteller, 1740 in Edinburgh geboren und 1795 in London gestorben, ist eine der interessantesten Figuren des 18. Jahrhunderts. In Tagebüchern und Briefen schildert er sein ereignisreiches Leben akribisch und mit erstaunlicher Offenheit. Helmut Winter hat aus diesen umfangreichen 'Journals' eine repräsentative Auswahl getroffen (und übersetzt), die die bewegtesten Kapitel von Boswells Biographie umfasst: Das Londoner Tagebuch 1762/63 – Boswell in Holland – Deutschland und die Schweiz – Italien und Korsika – Auf der Suche nach einer Gattin – Mit Dr. Johnson auf den Hebriden – Chronist und Choleriker – Gescheiterte Karrieren / Der Biograph.

Even if James Boswell hadn't written the The Life of Johnson, he would be famous for this memoir of eighteenth-century London life. Boswell arrived in the great metropolis from his native Edinburgh in 1762, and he kept a daily journal of his nine-month sojourn. Bawdy, witty, and brimming with fascinating details, the accounts range from his illicit encounters with prostitutes to his momentous meeting with Samuel Johnson. Boswell's London diary disappeared for 150 years, finally turning up in the 1920s as the literary find of the twentieth century. Unlike his other journals, it escaped nineteenth-century bowdlerization, allowing the author's voice to emerge with strikingly modern candor. Boswell writes frankly of his struggles with depression and his sexual obsessions. His painstaking records of the lively repartee of his mentor's literary circle formed the backbone of The Life of Johnson, and just as that book proved him a worthy biographer, so this one shows him an equally captivating subject.

The text of this complete and unabridged edition is that of the 1791 first edition, and it remains, by common consent, the greatest biography in the English language.
