Diary of Samuel Pepys - Volume 44: July 1666

By Samuel Pepys

A window onto a world in upheaval, Diary Of Samuel Pepys - Volume 44: July 1666 carries you inside Restoration London as history itself unfolds-intimate, immediate, unforgettable. This volume offers a concise yet vivid account from a keen, human observer: a seventeenth century diary that remains a primary source diary with incredible immediacy. Pepys's July entries illuminate daily life amid the Great Fire of London's embers and the lingering shadow of the bubonic plague aftermath, while charting a city rebuilding its identity. More than a diary, it is a living record of 1660s London-its chatter, its commerce, its curiosities-told in fresh, accessible language that resonates with today's readers. Alpha Editions brings this classic back not as a simple reprint, but as a restored artefact for all time. Out of print for decades, it now stands ready for today's and future generations-an annotated edition lovers' beacon, a reference for history students, and a compelling entry point for book club readers alike. Its pages form a diary anthology that invites exploration of culture, politics, and daily routine from a pivotal moment in British history. The volume sits proudly in any collection of seventeenth century journals, offering both scholarly insight and humanised detail that elevates the Pepys diary into a cultural treasure.
