«Diario del año de la peste» is the historical novel by Daniel Defoe, published by Impedimenta in paperback (328 pages, in Spanish).
A work of fiction that recreates the plague epidemic that devastated London between 1664 and 1666. Defoe adopts the role of a witness to narrate in detail how the disease transforms the city: the rising death toll, houses shut up with the sick inside, the flight of the wealthy, and the mix of heroic and selfish reactions among the neighbours.
Translated from the English by Pablo Grossmichd, with an introduction by José C. Vales. It is part of the publisher's Impedimenta collection, number 37.
Recommended for readers of English literature classics and historical narratives with a raw, well-documented atmosphere.
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.
