~ Collector’s Edition ~ Laminated Hardback with Jacket ~In 1665, London is gripped by the devastating plague, and a solitary narrator provides a vivid, day-by-day account of the horrors that unfold. Streets once bustling with life become eerily deserted, as fear and death cast long shadows over the city. Through a blend of observation and hearsay, the narrator explores the desperate measures people take to survive and the chilling impact of the epidemic on society. This haunting chronicle offers a gripping glimpse into a city struggling to endure one of its darkest hours.A Journal of the Plague Year stands as one of the earliest and most compelling examples of historical fiction, blurring the line between fact and narrative. Written by Daniel Defoe decades after the events it describes, the book provides a meticulous and almost journalistic account of the 1665 London plague, offering readers a window into the fears and resilience of a city under siege. Its detailed portrayal of public health measures, social upheaval, and human response during a crisis has made it a vital reference for historians and a timeless study of human behavior in the face of catastrophe. The book’s enduring relevance lies in its ability to resonate with contemporary audiences, reflecting universal themes of survival, fear, and the human condition.
