Download The Diary of Samuel Pepys: Volume III: 1667-1669 AudioBook Free
The Diary of Samuel Pepys is one of the most interesting documents in British history. Written between 1660 and 1669, as Pepys was creating himself as an integral administrator in the Navy Office, it is an intimate portrait of life in 17th-century Britain, covering his professional and personal activities, including, famously, his love of music, theater, food, and wines and his peccadilloes. This Naxos AudioBooks production is the world-premiere recording of the journal in its entirety. It's been split into three volumes. Quantity III presents the last 3 years of Pepys' journal. By then he was in his mid-30s and comfortable in his potential to cope with differing political factions within the Navy Office; his devotion for his partner, Elizabeth, grew ever before more robust despite wandering eye, and he found he was well worth £6,000 and more - a significant sum for the kid of a tailor, who began with little or nothing. His concerns along with his eye grew, and it was with some regret that he ended writing his journal by the end of May 1669. Leighton Push reads from the Robert Latham and William Matthews' text message; prefaces are written and read by David Timson.
