A Journal Of The Plague Year

'A Journal Od The Plague Year' is a historical novel first published 1722. The novel represents the experience of survival during the Great Plague in London in 1665, which was put in the form of a novel. Defoe was only five years old then and the book itself was published unders the signature H.F. As some researches think, that means 'Henry Foe' -- Daniel's Uncle, whose diaries were used as the material of the novel. The book is full of carefully written descriptions that help readers to soak up the atmosphere of that time.
