A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe
QR code
"A Journal of the Plague Year" by Daniel Defoe is a book published in 1722. It recounts one man's experiences during the Great Plague of London in 1665, when bubonic plague devastated the city. Presented as an eyewitness account, the work blends research and imagination to create a detailed chronicle of streets, neighborhoods, and casualties. Its classification remains debated—some view it as authentic history, others as historical fiction, and many as something
between both. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
