"Die Pest zu London" by Daniel Defoe is a fictional documentary account published in 1722. The work chronicles the Great Plague of London in 1665 through the eyes of narrator H.F., a saddler who remains in the city while others flee. He witnesses desperate quarantine measures, quack remedies, mass graves, and the collapse of social order as approximately 100,000 people perish. The narrative blends eyewitness observations, rumors, and parish statistics to capture
a city consumed by fear, superstition, and death. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
