Specificatii
For a decade, beginning in 1660, an ambitious young London civil
servant kept an astonishingly candid account of his life during one
of the most defining periods in British history. In Samuel Pepys,
Claire Tomalin offers us a fully realized and richly nuanced
portrait of this man, whose inadvertent masterpiece would establish
him as the greatest diarist in the English language. Against the
backdrop of plague, civil war, and regicide, with John Milton
composing diplomatic correspondence for Oliver Cromwell,
Christopher Wren drawing up plans to rebuild London, and Isaac
Newton advancing the empirical study of the world around us,
Tomalin weaves a breathtaking account of a figure who has passed on
to us much of what we know about seventeenth-century London. We
witness Pepys's early life and education, see him advising King
Charles II before running to watch the great fire consume London,
learn about the great events of the day as well as the most
intimate personal details that Pepys encrypted in the Diary, follow
him through his later years as a powerful naval administrator, and
come to appreciate how Pepys's singular literary enterprise would
in many ways prefigure our modern selves. With exquisite insight
and compassion, Samuel Pepys captures the uniquely fascinating
figure whose legacy lives on more than three hundred years after
his death.
