Chasing the Sun
Summary
Samuel Johnson believed that the lexicographer was no more than a harmless drudge. This book reveals that the reverse is true, as the creator of the dictionary becomes more of a deity because of his involvement with words. This is the story of the lexicographer and his obsession with language.
