Autor

Daniel Defoe (c. 1660 – 1731) was a prolific English writer, journalist, and pamphleteer, now best remembered for his contribution to the English novel, particularly through his enduring work 'Robinson Crusoe' (1719). Defoe's early life was marked by a series of unsuccessful ventures, including in trade and as a political agent. His diverse range of experiences, however, enriched his writing with a sense of realism and adventure that was revolutionary in the early 18th century. Defoe's writing style is noted for its vivid detail, immersive storytelling, and ability to convey the trials and triumphs of the common man in a rapidly changing world. His commitment to realistic depictions of life is further exemplified by his book 'The True Pirates of the Caribbean,' which offers a richly detailed narrative into the lives of seafarers in the Golden Age of Piracy. Although this title does not compare in fame to 'Robinson Crusoe' or 'Moll Flanders' (1722), it represents Defoe's remarkable capacity to explore various subjects with insight and authenticity. Defoe's works contributed significantly to the emergence of modern journalism and the English novel, and his literary footprint has inspired generations of writers and readers alike.
