Reading A Journal of the Plague Year | Alexandria
Read A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe. Tracking death's march through London, Defoe's eyewitness chronicle exposes a startling truth: epidemics reveal not just our mortality, but our humanity. His revolutionary insight? Mass tragedy breeds both heroic solidarity and brutal self-preservation - often in the same person. A masterwork that eerily foreshadowed our modern pandemic responses.
