Diary Of Samuel Pepys - Volume 31: October/November 1664 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354942891)

A window into a living past, a diary that opens onto a restless London. A voice sharp with curiosity, humane in its detail, guiding you through October and November 1664 with wit, restraint, and a keen eye for the day-to-day. Diary Of Samuel Pepys - Volume 31: October/November 1664 gathers a pivotal slice of Restoration London: daily life and politics, naval affairs, weather and commerce notes, and glimpses of the plague era. It is not merely a record of events, but a vivid portrait of a city humming with ambition, fear, and improvisation. This period journal edition invites readers to walk the docks, court the coffee-house conversations, and measure the pulse of a metropolis recovering from upheaval-an invaluable resource for historians, students, and curious minds alike. This edition holds literary and historical significance as a key node in the historical diary collection, alongside seventeenth century london and restoration era studies. It stands beside the traditions of Daniel Defoe maritime diaries, offering fresh lenses for academic reference material and broader historical research readers. The voice remains intimate, precise, and evocative; Pepys' observations become a bridge between centuries, resonant for both casual readers and classic-literature collectors. 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.
