«Diario del año de la peste» is the historical novel by Daniel Defoe, published by FisicalBook in paperback (222 pages, in Spanish).
Written years after the epidemic, the work reconstructs the London of 1665 ravaged by the plague through an anonymous witness. The narrative combines the everyday detail of a crumbling city with the fear and desperation of its inhabitants: houses marked with a cross, carts collecting the dead, and mass graves.
Originally published in 1722; this Spanish edition, from 1997, belongs to the Clásicos Universales collection.
For readers of classics and historical fiction interested in how a society faces an epidemic.
Daniel Defoe was an English writer, journalist, merchant and spy. He is famous for his novels Robinson Crusoe (1719), Moll Flanders (1722) and Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress (1724). He has been seen as one of the earliest proponents of the English novel, and helped to popularise the form in Britain with others such as Aphra Behn and Samuel Richardson.
