Title: Passages from the Diary of Samuel Pepys Author: Samuel Pepys Narrator: Fred Williams Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 2 minutes Release date: January 1, 2006 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: 'The diary which Samuel Pepys kept from January 1660 to May 1669…is one of our greatest historical records and…a major work of English literature,' writes the renowned historian Paul Johnson. A witness to the coronation of Charles II, the Great Plague of 1665, and the Great Fire of 1666, Pepys chronicled the events of his day. His diary provides an astonishingly frank and diverting account of political intrigues, naval, church, and cultural affairs, as well as a quotidian journal of daily life in London during the Restoration. Pepys' vivid, unconscious style, originally written in a cryptic shorthand, reveals an ideal witness: honest, unpretentious, and true.
