Book Description
The 1660s represent a turning point in English history, and for the main events - the Restoration, the Dutch War, the Great Plague, the Fire of London - Pepys provides a definitive eyewitness account. Along with lively descriptions of his socializing, his amorous entanglements, his theater-going & music-making. Unequaled for its frankness, high spirits & sharp observations, the diary is both a literary masterpiece & a marvelous portrait of 17th-century life. Acclaimed by 'The Times' as "one of the glories of contemporary English publishing" and by Sir Arthur Bryant as "complete perfection", the Latham and Matthews edition remains the authoritative text and provides the source for this magnificent Folio Society publication.

Book Description
That wild and crazy guy of the 17th century - Samuel Pepys - continues his escapades in London and environs. In this, the final volume: Pepys continues to grow in reputation in the government, the King's mistress exacts her revenge, Pepys' marriage undergoes further trials, and blindness threatens! Much too scandalous to be published in its own time, this first person account sheds an entirely different light on Pepys' times.Pepys' long-suffering wife, still suspecting her husband of infidelity after last year's blow-up,is in a cold rage :"But waking by and by out of a slumber, which I usually fall into presently after my coming into the bed, I found she did not prepare to come to bed, but got fresh candles, and more wood for her fire, it being mighty cold, too. At this being troubled, I after a while prayed her to come to bed... At last, about one o'clock, she come to my side of the bed, and drew my curtaine open, and with the tongs red hot at the ends, made as if she did design to pinch me with them..."
