Diary Of Samuel Pepys - Volume 29: June/July 1664 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354942815)

A doorway into a waking city: Pepys' pages quietly reveal the pulse of Restoration London as it rose from upheaval to routine, from ceremony to daily life. Diary Of Samuel Pepys - Volume 29: June/July 1664 returns a pivotal, out-of-print treasure to modern hands. This restored edition brings together the vivid observations of a keen observer-where daily life, urban streets, and intimate chambers meet with military and court affairs, weather, theatre, and the ever-shifting rhythms of a capital in flux. It is not merely a diary but a personal diary collection that reads like a living history, a bridge between early modern England and today's scholars and curious readers alike. Pepys's voice speaks with immediacy and warmth, offering a compact guide to 1660s London: its people, its noise, its anxieties, its small joys. For the casual reader, the immediacy is captivating; for the scholar, the volume serves as a durable history research reference and academic study resource. Its significance is twofold: a cornerstone of restoration period literature and a window into how a city, a culture, and a nation negotiates change. Selling points weave through the story: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This is essential reading for lovers of the historical diary, the 17th-century diary, and anyone charting London's enduring history.
