塞繆爾·佩皮斯於 1633 年的今天出生於英國倫敦。佩皮斯是一位英國海軍行政官和國會議員，但最令人難忘的是他 17 世紀 60 年代寫的日記。
「事實上，我確實會稍微放縱自己享受快樂，因為我知道這是我人生中做這件事的適當年齡；而且據我觀察，世界上大多數成功的人，在獲得財產期間都會忘記享受快樂，而是把快樂留到他們真正擁有了財產之後，那時他們再去享受快樂就太晚了。”
——塞繆爾·佩皮斯，1666 年 3 月 10 日
從 1660 年開始的十年間，一位雄心勃勃的年輕倫敦公務員以驚人的坦誠記錄了他在英國歷史上最具決定性時期之一的生活。在 Samuel Pepys 的著作中，克萊爾·托馬林 (Claire Tomalin) 為我們呈現了這位男士的完整而細緻入微的肖像，他的這部不經意的傑作使他成為英語中最偉大的日記作家。在瘟疫、內戰和弒君的背景下，約翰·彌爾頓為奧利弗·克倫威爾撰寫外交信函，克里斯托弗·雷恩制定重建倫敦的計劃，艾薩克·牛頓推進對我們周圍世界的實證研究，托馬林編織了一個令人驚嘆的人物故事，講述了一個向我們傳授了有關十七世紀倫敦的大部分知識的人物。我們見證了佩皮斯的早年生活和教育，看到他在跑去觀看倫敦大火之前為查理二世國王提供建議，了解當時的重大事件以及佩皮斯在日記中加密的最私密的個人細節，跟隨他度過晚年作為強大的海軍行政官的歲月，並逐漸欣賞佩皮斯獨特的文學事業如何在許多方面預示著我們現代的自我。塞繆爾·佩皮斯以敏銳的洞察力和同情心，捕捉了這位獨特而迷人的人物的形象，他的遺產在他去世三百多年後仍然存在。閱讀摘錄

Samuel Pepys was born in London, England on this day in 1633. Pepys was a English naval administrator and Member of Parliament, but is best remembered for the diary which he kept in the 1660s.
"The truth is, I do indulge myself a little the more in pleasure, knowing that this is the proper age of my life to do it; and out of my observation that most men that do thrive in the world, do forget to take pleasure during the time that they are getting their estate, but reserve that till they have got one, and then it is too late for them to enjoy it with any pleasure."
-- Samuel Pepys on March 10, 1666
-- Samuel Pepys on March 10, 1666
For a decade, beginning in 1660, an ambitious young London civil servant kept an astonishingly candid account of his life during one of the most defining periods in British history. In Samuel Pepys, Claire Tomalin offers us a fully realized and richly nuanced portrait of this man, whose inadvertent masterpiece would establish him as the greatest diarist in the English language. Against the backdrop of plague, civil war, and regicide, with John Milton composing diplomatic correspondence for Oliver Cromwell, Christopher Wren drawing up plans to rebuild London, and Isaac Newton advancing the empirical study of the world around us, Tomalin weaves a breathtaking account of a figure who has passed on to us much of what we know about seventeenth-century London. We witness Pepys’s early life and education, see him advising King Charles II before running to watch the great fire consume London, learn about the great events of the day as well as the most intimate personal details that Pepys encrypted in the Diary, follow him through his later years as a powerful naval administrator, and come to appreciate how Pepys’s singular literary enterprise would in many ways prefigure our modern selves. With exquisite insight and compassion, Samuel Pepys captures the uniquely fascinating figure whose legacy lives on more than three hundred years after his death. READ an excerpt

Samuel Pepys (1633–1703) began his diary on New Year’s Day, 1660.
"I went out to Charing Cross, to see Major-general Harrison hanged, drawn and quartered; which was done there, he looking as cheerful as any man could do in that condition."

' with great pleasure. So home to bed
In the 14th century, the numbles (or noumbles, nomblys, noubles) was the name given to the heart, liver, entrails etc. of animals, especially of deer - what we now call offal or lights. By the 15th century this had migrated to umbles, although the words co-existed for some time. There are many references to both words in Old English and Middle English texts from 1330 onward. Umbles were used as an ingredient in pies, although the first record of 'umble pie' in print is as late as the 17th century. Samuel Pepys makes many references to such pies in his diary. For example, on 5th July 1662:
"I having some venison given me a day or two ago, and so I had a shoulder roasted, another baked, and the umbles baked in a pie, and all very well done."
and on 8th July 1663:
"Mrs Turner came in and did bring us an Umble-pie hot out of her oven, extraordinarily good."-----
This summer marks 350 years since the Great Plague of London left nearly 70,000 people in the city dead. At a time when the world is emerging from the lethal shadow of the Ebola outbreak, Samuel Pepys’s diary, with its rich detailing of an earlier plague, seems unnervingly fresh. From the moment he saw the red crosses on that boiling June day, through September when the death rate peaked at 7,000 a week, and until January 1666 when it began to wane, Pepys chronicled the plague’s progress through narrow alleys and grand mansions. http://econ.st/1HZtjWq
