Description

The Diary of Samuel Pepys is one of the most entertaining documents in English history.

Written between 1660 and 1669, as Pepys was establishing himself as a key administrator in the Navy Office, it is an intimate portrait of life in 17th-century England, covering his professional and personal activities, including, famously, his love of music, theatre, food, wine and his peccadilloes.This Naxos AudioBooks production is the world-premiere recording of the diary in its entirety.

It has been divided into three volumes. Volume II covers some of the most famous passages in the diary.

Pepys was there, in London, during the terrible Plague of 1665. And he was there during the Great Fire of London the following year, playing an active role in the actual event and the aftermath.
