This famous account of the Great Plague of London in 1665 is a fictionalized tale written by Daniel Defoe, one of the pioneers of the English novel. Although fictitious, the book is an excellent historical source on the plague, as Defoe was a young child during the outbreak and relied on his own memories, as well as his uncle's journals, for much of his information. Through Defoe's vivid descriptions, readers can experience the fear and horror of the plague firsthand, as well as the social and economic effects it had on the city of London. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of disease epidemics!
