Samuel Pepys, a rising naval administrator with an insatiable curiosity for life, chronicles with extraordinary frankness his professional ambitions, domestic dramas, cultural passions, and the grand political upheavals unfolding around him — all rendered in a prose of irresistible immediacy and warmth.\n\nThis sumptuous three-volume Folio Society edition — spanning 1660 to 1669 — presents one of history's greatest primary sources in a format worthy of its stature, with elegant bindings that reflect the diary's lasting cultural prestige. Pepys writes not as a man performing for posterity, but as one unburdening himself in secret, and it is this quality of raw honesty — about desire, ambition, fear, and joy — that has secured the diary's place at the very heart of English literature. To read Pepys is to inhabit another century entirely; to close the book is to feel the loss of a friend.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572618367195,"sku":"2026100011413-SECONDHAND","price":125.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e82b13ab-57d3-44e4-b32e-c6a4a630c1c8.png?v=1791166978","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011413-secondhand-pepys-diary-1660-1663-1664-1666-1667-1669","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
