Produced by David Widger "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1665 N.S." by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written during the mid-17th century. This work is notable for its detailed first-person observations of daily life in Restoration England, particularly focusing on Pepys's experiences in London during a tumultuous period marked by the Second Anglo-Dutch War and the Great Plague. Through the voice of Samuel Pepys, the book offers an intimate glimpse into the personal and public life of a man engaged in the complexities of politics, social interactions, and personal dilemmas. The opening of this diary spans the beginning of 1665, where Pepys chronicles his daily routine, detailing both mundane tasks and significant interactions. He reflects on financial matters while balancing duties at the Admiralty, social visits, and personal relationships. His entries convey a mix of trivialities, such as a lavish meal and dealings with servants, alongside more serious concerns, including the dangers posed by contemporary warfare and the impact of societal events on his life. This section sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Pepys's character and the historical context that surrounds him, revealing his candid thoughts about jealousy, office politics, and personal joys and frustrations.
