Description

Daniel Defoe gives an account of one man's experiences of the year 1665, in which the Great Plague or the bubonic plague struck the city of London. Presented as an eyewitness account of the events at the time, Defoe goes to great pains to achieve an effect of verisimilitude, identifying specific neighborhoods, streets, and even houses in which events took place.

At least they didn't have to bear with plague-deniers "educating" themselves in online echo-chambers... ^^' otherwise it's almost absurd how similar this account is to the current pandemic. Humanity really seems to actively strive against learning from its own history. (Rtc)
