ISBN10: 0670885681, ISBN13: 9780670885688, [publisher: Viking] Hardcover For a decade, beginning in 1660, an ambitious young London civil servant kept an astonishingly candid account of his life during one of the most defining periods in British history. In Samuel Pepys, Claire Tomalin offers us a fully realized and richly nuanced portrait of this man, whose inadvertent masterpiece would establish him as the greatest diarist in the English language. Fine book in a Fine jacket. Against the backdrop of plague, civil war, and regicide, with John Milton composing diplomatic correspondence for Oliver Cromwell, Christopher Wren drawing up plans to rebuild London, and Isaac Newton advancing the empirical study of the world around us, Tomalin weaves a breathtaking account of a figure who has passed on to us much of what we know about seventeenth-century London. We witness Pepys s early life and education, see him advising King Charles II before running to watch the great fire consume London, learn about the great events of the day as well as the most intimate personal details that Pepys encrypted in the Diary, follow him through his later years as a powerful naval administrator, and come to appreciate how Pepys s singular literary enterprise would in many ways prefigure our modern selves. With exquisite insight and compassion, Samuel Pepys captures the uniquely fascinating figure whose legacy lives on more than three hundred years after his death.

London England: Viking, Date: 2002. Hardback. First Edition. Samuel Pepys. The Unequalled Self. 2002 Whitbread Book of the Year. The late seventeebnth century saw a revolution in man;s thought, as Newton and others began the scientific study of the universe around them. At the same time a shrewd young civil servant in London began to observe, with something of the same dispassionate curiosity, the strange object around which, for him, the universe revolved himself. For ten years, from 1660, Samuel Pepys kept one of the most remarkable records ever made of human life. With astounding candour and perceptiveness he described his ambitions and speculations, his professional successes and failures, his pettinesses and meannesses, his tenderness towards his wife and the irritation and jealosies she provoked, his extramarital longings and fumblings, his cooly critical attitude towards the king he served and his watchful adaption to the corrupt and treacherous society in which he lived. The author traces Pepyy's youth before the diary began, the poor tailor's son, the schoolboy who rejoiced at the execution of Charlies I, the aspiring clerk working for Cromwell's senior officials and his transformation into a royalist who helped escort Charles II back to England and the throne. She illuminates his ability as an administrator and his greatness as a writer, and she follows the extraordinary switchback career of triumohs and disasters that continued for three decades after ...
