A Journal of the Plague Year was written by Defoe in 1722. This book, which went to great lengths to seem as realistic and lifelike as possible, is the account of one man’s stories during the year 1665 when the Plague struck London and ravaged the city.

In this book, we read the withstander’s accounts of one man that lived through the plague in London. This man, who identifies himself as “H.F.”, might have been based on the author’s uncle, and the stories might be based on real ones. As he wanders the streets of London, he meets the horrifying, devastating panorama of human tragedy: empty streets, sick people abandoned to their luck, crosses on the doors, and people that refuse to talk. Those that talk all have a horrifying, tragic story that begs to be heard. Read about how the plague affected London on a human scale. This book is a masterful, heartwrenching recall of that deadly event.

Why buy a Sastrugi Press Classic?

Sastrugi Press is dedicated to producing the best possible classic book editions for our customers. We take the original text and completely re-typeset it. We design our books for readability, visual appeal, and unrivaled enjoyment.

Many of our competitors simply sell you low-quality photocopies. They use cheap OCR software to convert the text, causing many typographical errors. This creates a terrible reader experience. Sastrugi Press does not and will never scan and paste.

We value your time and business. We use the industry standard software Adobe Indesign CC to create high-performance books. This expensive process produces easier reading than the original antique metal typeset printing. You will be proud to have our books on your shelves.

Purchase quality. Purchase a Sastrugi Press Classic.
