Summary: A Private Life & World History in a fascinating journal!
Comment: Samuel Pepys was a paper pusher in the 1600's who had the fantastic luck to get a political job with the English Navy, who knew Charles II, who dined with William Pitt, who was a scamp of a philanderer (and details it all!)-- This amazing journal takes place between 1660 and 1669. It is possibly the most entertaining journal you will ever read. Imagine seeing the Great London Fire of 1666 through his eyes? Details and personalities, all here. For those of you who love history, for those who love personal journals, this is the book to read! And it's only 350 years old. You will be amazed at how forthright he is about his lust for other women than his wife, at how he chastises himself, yet still commits the same sins. He is perfectly human, this Samuel Pepys, and a delight to read!
