More about the book
Set against the backdrop of the Great Plague of 1665 in London, the novel presents a fictionalized account of one man's harrowing experiences during this devastating period. Although it claims to be a contemporary account, it was actually penned in the early 18th century and published in 1722. The author, Daniel Defoe, was only a child during the events described, and the narrative likely draws inspiration from the journals of his uncle, Henry Foe, adding a layer of authenticity to the historical context.
