Summary "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1666 N.S." by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written during the mid-17th century, specifically in the years surrounding the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London. The work consists of the diary entries of Samuel Pepys, who served as a naval administrator and a key figure in the government, providing readers with a detailed and personal glimpse into life during a tumultuous time in English history. The opening of the diary sets the stage for a vibrant and intricately detailed narrative filled with Pepys's engagements in both his professional duties and personal affairs. It begins on New Year's Day in January 1665, where he recounts a busy morning dictated by work routines, interspersed with social visits and musical gatherings. As he navigates his duties concerning naval victualling and interacts with notable figures such as Sir W. Warren and his friend Mr. Tooker, Pepys also reflects on his domestic life, including interactions with his wife, his affinity for music, and observations about the city. Through these entries, readers are introduced to Pepys's character, his ambitions, and the societal changes occurring around him, setting the foundation for a profound historical portrait.
