Produktbeschreibung

The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (Complete Trilogy) by Daniel Defoe is a pioneering work in the realm of novel-writing, marked by its rich narrative style and profound exploration of themes such as survival, isolation, and self-discovery. Defoe intricately weaves the tale of Crusoe, a shipwrecked sailor marooned on a deserted island, into a broader commentary on civilization, colonialism, and the human spirit. The trilogy invites readers into a meticulously detailed world, exploring the psychological and physical challenges faced by Crusoe, all while employing a realist style that reflects the literary context of early 18th-century Britain, where growing interest in unique singular experiences shaped the landscape of narrative fiction. Daniel Defoe, an English writer and journalist, lived through a tumultuous period marked by social upheaval and the burgeoning global empire. His experiences as a merchant and his keen interest in travel narratives profoundly informed his work. Defoe's own life of social and economic instability mirrors the plight of Crusoe, allowing him to offer an authentic perspective on resilience and resourcefulness, encapsulated within the framework of adventure and moral lessons. This complete trilogy is recommended for readers who seek a profound engagement with the human condition framed within the exhilarating context of adventure. Defoe's masterful prose and compelling character study create a timeless narrative that resonates with contemporary themes, making this classic not just a tale of survival but a reflective journey about man's place in the world.

Autorenporträt

Daniel Defoe (c. 1660 - 24 April 1731), born Daniel Foe, was an English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer and spy. He is most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe, which is second only to the Bible in its number of translations. He has been seen as one of the earliest proponents of the English novel, and helped to popularise the form in Britain with others such as Aphra Behn and Samuel Richardson. Defoe wrote many political tracts and was often in trouble with the authorities, and spent a period in prison. Intellectuals and political leaders paid attention to his fresh ideas and sometimes consulted with him. Defoe was a prolific and versatile writer, producing more than three hundred works[4]-books, pamphlets, and journals-on diverse topics, including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology, and the supernatural. He was also a pioneer of business journalism[5] and economic journalism.
