Defoes's fictionalised account of one man's experiences of the year 1665, in which the Great Plague hit the city of London, striking down a hundred thousand, no less than one in five citizens. Actually written sixty years after the epidemic, Defoe brings the city to life in all of its hardship and fear, with a wealth of detail and stories of isolation and horror.
