| Although Jeremiah Mount receives only passing notice in the celebrated diary of Samuel Pepys， in Jem s own memoirs Sam figures significantly and large -- not as a fellow clerk in Oliver Cromwell s government but as an ill-natured， galling colleague and measly mouse of a man who sets the professionally envious Jem on a hapless path of revenge. Their personal destinies criss-crossing to wildly ironic ends， Jem (and Sam) not only pursue worldly successes and their erotic whims in a bustling， boisterous city of London. They also survive war， rebellion， pestilence， and the Great Fire. Less fortunately， in his final bid for literary fame， Jem falls into a fatal vat of boiling ink， but not before recounting the adventures in this rollicking novel s marvelous fabrication of a man and his times. |
