A Journal of the Plague Year(I) 大疫年日记（英文版） (English Edition)

A Journal of the Plague Year is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published in March 1722. The novel describes an gruesome experience in 1665, in which the Great Plague or the bubonic plague struck the city of London. The Journal is narrated by a Londoner named "H. F.," who allegedly lived through the devastating effects of the pestilence and produced this eye witness account. Henry Foe. H.F. depicts the horrors of the devastating pestilence that struck London at that time, and claims that the plague has reached England because of active commerce with mainland Europe. Despite the different measures taken by the local health authorities, it has spread like wildfire amid the city crowds. Drawing on his considerable talents as both journalist and novelist, Defoe reconstructed events both historically and fictionally, incorporating realistic, memorable details that enable the novel to surpass even firsthand accounts in its air of authenticity. The book is told somewhat chronologically, though without sections or chapter headings.
