{"product_id":"9780812970715","title":"The Diary of Samuel Pepys","description":"Richard Le Gallienne’s elegant abridgment of the \u003ci\u003eDiary\u003c\/i\u003e captures the essential writings of Samuel Pepys (1633–1703), a remarkable man who witnessed the coronation of Charles II, the Great Plague of 1665, and the Great Fire of 1666. Originally scribbled in a cryptic shorthand, Pepys’s quotidian journal of life in Restoration London provides an astonishingly frank and diverting account of political intrigues; naval, church, and cultural affairs; and the sexual escapades and domestic strife of a man with a voracious, childlike appetite for living. “As a human document the \u003ci\u003eDiary\u003c\/i\u003e is literally unique,” notes Le Gallienne. “It will have a still greater value for its historical importance.”","brand":"Outliers Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53089498759479,"sku":null,"price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/3633\/0295\/files\/12005323482477.jpg?v=1791083098","url":"https:\/\/outliersbooks.shop\/products\/9780812970715","provider":"Outliers Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
