JOURNAL OF THE PLAGUE YEAR

By Daniel Defoe

Synopsis

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.
