From the back of the book:
Claire Tomalin writes literary biographies that are as compulsive to read as they are insightful, and her narrative virtuosity was rewarded in 2002, when her biography of Samuel Pepys, published by Penguin, won the Whitbread Book of the Year. In Young Bysshe Tomalin tells the story of the formative years of the poet Shelley - and brings the young radical and his world vividly to life.

“Ein Buch ist nicht nur ein Freund, es schafft Dir neue Freunde. Wenn Du ein Buch in Gedanken und im Geist besessen hast, bist Du bereichert.

Aber wenn Du das Buch weitergegeben hast, bist Du dreifach bereichert.”
Henry Miller

could not resist this widely travelled book - thank you :-)
