Synopsis "Diario del año de la Peste (in Spanish)"

Este libro, hoy de absoluta actualidad, se ha convertido con el tiempo, en un clásico de lo que podríamos llamar, la crónica novelada, o el periodismo de ficción. Defoe parte de un acontecimiento real: la peste que asoló a Londres y sus alrededores entre 1664 y 1666. El escritor despliega toda su maestría narrativa y nos entrega un relato absolutamente dramático y sobrecogedor. con una precisión admirable.Recomendado del librero. Considerado una de las cumbres de la literatura inglesa de todos los tiempos, el Diario del año de la peste es un escalofriante relato novelado en el que se describen con crudeza los horribles acontecimientos que coincidieron con la epidemia de peste que asoló Londres y sus alrededores entre 1664 y 1666. El Diario del año de la peste es una narración dramática y sobrecogedora, con episodios que van de lo emotivo a lo terrorífico, un relato preciso y sin concesiones de una altura literaria que todavía hoy es capaz de conmovernos hasta las lágrimas.

English writer and journalist, Daniel Defoe is mainly known for his novel Robinson Crusoe (1719), though he also stood out for his role in the development of the press and for his political and social essays

Defoe left his studies to become a discreet businessman, whose activities were not entirely profitable, even receiving prison time for his debts

From 1695, after several years of exile due to his political ideology, he starts a new business dedicated to tiles and bricks which begins to work, providing his family—he was married and had six children—with greater economic stability

However, his political activism leads him to publish several essays or pamphlets that cost him days of imprisonment and the pillory. After returning to jail, Defoe begins working from a magazine supporting political factions of the government, participating in the English secret services

In 1719 he publishes his great novel, Robinson Crusoe, which allows him to launch into a literary career marked by successes such as The Adventures of Captain Singleton, A Journal of the Plague Year, or Moll Flanders. His popularity grew and his influence on subsequent generations of writers by enhancing the novelistic genre is notable

Despite all his success and his connections with the government, Defoe never achieved stable economic solvency for long. His death in 1731 occurred while fleeing from new creditors
