The Diary of Samuel Pepys (Modern Library Classics)

Richard Le Gallienneâ€™s elegant abridgment of the Diary captures the essential writings of Samuel Pepys (1633â€“1703), a remarkable man who witnessed the coronation of Charles II, the Great Plague of 1665, and the Great Fire of 1666. Originally scribbled in a cryptic shorthand, Pepysâ€™s quotidian journal of life in Restoration London provides an astonishingly frank and diverting account of political intrigues; naval, church, and cultural affairs; and the sexual escapades and domestic strife of a man with a voracious, childlike appetite for living. â€œAs a human document the Diary is literally unique,â€ notes Le Gallienne. â€œIt will have a still greater value for its historical importance.â€
