Hardback. Etat : Used. In a literary landscape cluttered with tomes that proclaim to unravel the secrets of history, ?The Plot Against Pepys? dares to flip the script, quite literally. Here we have a concoction so rich in irony it could only be brewed in a mindspring of two authors, James Long and Ben Long, who apparently decided that Samuel Pepys?a figure often overshadowed by his own diary habits?needed a little more drama in his life. After all, who doesn?t love a plot twist about a man whose biggest scandal is his penchant for chronicling his own affairs (both romantic and otherwise) in a way that makes modern social media look like a quaint coffee break? This book, published in the glory days of 2007?an era when everyone was just beginning to realise that social media might not be the cure-all for human connection?takes us on an unexpected jaunt through the life of Pepys. But hold onto your quills, folks! This isn?t just a biography filled with musty memoirs and dry history; it?s a raucous romp that imagines Pepys as the unwitting centerpiece in a grand conspiracy, where the stakes are as high as a Restoration-era wig. The Longs, in their infinite wisdom, seem to ask: What if Pepys wasn?t just an observer of history but a pawn in a much larger game? Expect to uncover a smorgasbord of delightful eccentricities as the authors weave together an elaborate narrative that leaves no stone unturned?except perhaps those connected to actual historical accuracy. Fans of the ?bizarre yet brilliant? genre will find themselves tiptoeing through a landscape where facts and fancies twine together like an overgrown garden in the back of a derelict stately home. The writing sparkles with wit sharper than a 17th-century rapier, leaving you wondering if the Pepys you thought you knew was merely a cover for the real drama unfolding behind the curtains of history. Now, if you were hoping for a straightforward historical account, prepare for disappointment. Instead, you?ll be treated to a cavalcade of whimsical characters, possibly including a talking cat or a ghostly apparition of Oliver Cromwell for good measure. Why not? After all, the authors seem to have thrown caution to the wind, opting instead for a narrative that marries the absurd with the profound. Who knew that Pepys had such a riveting life beyond his descriptions of the Great Fire of London? Condition: This tome is used, and as such, it carries the delightful patina of time?think of it as a literary vintage wine, perhaps a bit corked but still brimming with character. Pages may be dog-eared or exhibit the occasional coffee stain, which only adds to its charm. Markings of previous readers may haunt the margins like wayward spirits, offering unsolicited commentary on Pepys? escapades. Embrace the imperfections; they?re what make this book feel lived in, much like an antique shop crammed with quirky artifacts. Among the many peculiarities this book offers, you might find: A secret society of Pepys enthusiasts plotting to reclaim his legacy. A love letter from a mysterious figure, penned in deliciously ornate calligraphy. Discussions of the merits of 17th-century fish stew?because why not? Unexpected tangents into the life of various minor characters that may or may not exist. Footnotes that might just be more entertaining than the main text itself. So grab your quill and ink, or at least your best caffeinated beverage, and prepare to embark on an adventure that?s as twisted as Pepys? own diary entries. Whether you?re a history buff or someone who simply enjoys a good chuckle at the absurdities of life, ?The Plot Against Pepys? promises to be a delightful diversion. Find your next literary oddity at Crappy Old Books, where every page turned is a step into the wonderfully weird world of second-hand treasures. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. N° de réf. du vendeur 2532
