The Joys of Excess

Meer over het boek

As well as being the most celebrated diarist of all time, Pepys was also a hearty drinker, eater, and connoisseur of epicurean delights, who indulged in every pleasure 17th-century London had to offer. These irresistible selections from Pepys' diaries provide a frank, high-spirited, and vivid picture of the joys of over-indulgence--and the side-effects afterwards.
