{"product_id":"samuel-johnson-man-of-alicia-brent-9781502570178","title":"Samuel Johnson - Man of Words","description":"Samuel Johnson (often referred to as Dr Johnson, though he was not a medical doctor) was one of the shining lights of eighteenth century English literature. He wrote poetry, stories, plays and essays that were well received by the public of his day. In our day his fame rests securely on his nine-year-long work to produce the first comprehensive and structured English dictionary, which remained unrivalled until the Oxford English dictionary appeared in 1928.Many of his sayings have entered regular usage, such as 'When a man is tired of London he is tired of life.' With a whole dictionary at his disposal he was certainly not short of words, as you will find for yourself in this book, where many of his best quotations may be found.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alicia Brent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1502570173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781502570178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.12d","brand":"Alicia Brent","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124263350527,"sku":"9781502570178","price":8.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe84d363-6f92-4b01-ac4c-de6edb5566a1.jpg?v=1687435719","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/samuel-johnson-man-of-alicia-brent-9781502570178","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
