Summary "The Life of That Wonderful and Extraordinarily Heavy Man, Daniel Lambert" is a biography authored without specific attribution, published in 1818, during the early 19th century. The book chronicles the life of Daniel Lambert, a man renowned for his exceptional corpulence, exploring themes of obesity, health, and public curiosity. It not only details Lambert's personal life and experiences but also touches upon the broader phenomenon of notable individuals known for their extraordinary sizes. The narrative begins with Lambert's humble beginnings in Leicester, England, where he displayed an early passion for field sports but began to gain significant weight in his later years. His career evolved from die-sinker to the keeper of the local prison, where his moral integrity earned him respect and a supportive community. Lambert's life reflects a unique blend of physical presence and personal humility, as he naturally drew attention from the public, leading him to eventually embrace his role as an attraction in London. The book closes with his death, detailing the extensive arrangements needed for his burial and leaving lessons on the complexities of health and humanity amidst the spectacle of his life.
