Compelling and fascinating account of life in a plague-stricken city
If you want to know what it was really like to live through the Great Plague of 1665 in London, read this book - whilst Daniel Defoe did not actually witness this himself, he interviewed those who did and turned their accounts into a compelling account. What relevance does this have for us today? Well, we see that Ebola is still rife in parts of Africa, and it is said that the Great Plague in 1665 in London may well have been a form of Ebola. So this fascinating, well-written and compelling account gives the reader an idea of what it must be like to live in an Ebola-stricken city.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
