Produktbeschreibung
A fresh page in a vanished world opens with Pepys' brisk, intimate chronicle of July and August 1663. A historical diary that feels like a window onto the daily pulse of Restoration London, and a mirror for the era's storms and joys. This volume blends vivid scenes of london daily life with precise updates on naval affairs, plague, weather, and politics, offering a seamless eyewitness historical record. Pepys's voice-curious, candid, sometimes wry-maps a city in flux: the theatre of power at Whitehall, the rhythms of markets and taverns, and the private inventiveness of a man navigating a rapidly changing world. For history research readers and students, the book doubles as an invaluable academic study aid, a primer on late seventeenth century london wrapped in a compelling memoir of the Restoration period. A note of significance runs through the pages: Pepys's diary is a cornerstone of restoration london literature and a touchstone for naval history parallels, social history, and cultural change. It speaks to casual readers with immediate warmth and to collectors with reverence for a work that shaped how we understand daily life in the era. 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 for fans of historical diary literature and the long view of restoration era insights.
