Uno scrittore davvero straordinario, uno degli autori di saggistica viventi più dotati' Simon Schama, Financial Times NELLA SELEZIONATA PER IL COSTA BIOGRAPHY AWARD 2015 Questa è l'autobiografia che John Aubrey non ha mai scritto. Potresti non sapere il suo nome. Aubrey era un uomo modesto, un gentiluomo-studioso che si preoccupava molto di più della conservazione della storia che della sua stessa eredità. Ma era un collezionista appassionato, un archeologo precoce e l'inventore della biografia moderna. Con tutto l'arguzia, il fascino e l'originalità che caratterizzano il suo soggetto, Ruth Scurr ha cucito insieme alla perfezione le parole di John Aubrey per raccontare la sua storia di vita e un'avvincente storia dell'Inghilterra del diciassettesimo secolo diversa da qualsiasi altra. 'Un punto di svolta nel mondo della biografia' Mary Beard 'Ingegnoso' Hilary Mantel 'Irresistibile' Philip Pullman
