Diary Of Samuel Pepys - Volume 40: November/December 1665 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354943287)

A glimpse of London in a year of fire and fear, told with wit, precision, and an eye for what endures. Diary Of Samuel Pepys - Volume 40 invites you into the daily rhythms of the 1665 plague era, where storms at sea and rumours at court mingle with the minutiae of ordinary life. This restored volume preserves the form and voice of a renowned primary source diary, offering vivid London 1665 observations, naval and court news, and reflections on a city navigating the Restoration England context. It is a historical diary collection that illuminates social life, governance, and the fragile balance between public duty and private feeling. For academic readers and scholars, for secondary school resources and thoughtful general readers alike, the diary works as a reliable, richly detailed historical manuscript archive that never shies from the human texture of its time. 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 edition speaks to casual readers drawn to a vivid, narrative history and to classic-literature collectors seeking a carefully curated, enduring piece of Britain's literary and historical fabric.
