Samuel Pepys is popularly known as the founder of the modern navy, a member of the Royal Society and most of all, as a unique and frank diarist. Less well known is the fact that he was a serial sexual offender by modern standards; a voyeur, a groper and a rapist. Set against the London society of Charles II's restoration, and extensively using Pepys' own words, this book concerns his numerous extramarital affairs, often using his professional status and position of influence to advance the careers of his subordinates, in return for the sexual favors of their wives. With his own very frank descriptions, translated from the strange mix of languages and the seventeenth century shorthand he used to camouflage the content, the reader witnesses in often very graphic detail how Pepys set about achieving his lascivious objectives - on occasion resorting to physical force where persuasion or bribery failed. Whether she be wife, daughter, mother or humble maidservant, no woman was safe from his rapacious sexual appetite. This book shows the reader a little known, dark and sometimes very disturbing aspect of Samuel Pepys' character, one which even in his own day, he would not have wanted to be publicly aired.

This historical biography reveals how the famous diarist of Restoration England used his professional position to act as a sexual predator. Samuel Pepys is popularly known as the founder of the modern navy, a member of the Royal Society and, most of all, as a unique and frank diarist. Less well known is that he was a serial sexual offender by modern standards; a voyeur, a groper, and a rapist.

The 1660 entries of Samuel Pepys' diary uncensored, modernized and edited to strike a balance between improving the clarity and forcefulness of Pepys' writing while still having his unique voice shine through. It includes nearly 400 footnotes to provide extensive background and commentary on the scenes being described. And it lacks the annoying Victorian-era censoring found in public domain versions.

That wild and crazy guy of the 17th century - Samuel Pepys - continues his escapades in London and environs. In this volume: the aftermath of the Great Fire of London, talk of Nostradamus, the increasingly infamous behavior of the royal court, trouble in Parliament, the end of one war and rumors of new wars brewing, plays aplenty, news from the New World, more science experiments and early brain surgery, and Sam's carousing with his friends! Much too scandalous to be published in its own time, this first person account sheds an entirely different light on Pepys' times.The year begins with rumors of war:"I find the Court full of great apprehensions of the French, who have certainly shipped landsmen, great numbers, at Brest; and most of our people here guess his design for Ireland. We have orders to send all the ships we can possible to the Downes. God have mercy on us! for we can send forth no ships without men, nor will men go without money, every day bringing us news of new mutinies among the seamen; so that our condition is like to be very miserable."
