In this era of pandemic fears, the gripping tale of the Great Plague that brought Europe to its knees in the mid-1600s is a surprisingly timely read. Defoe's fictionalized account of life in plague-stricken 1665 London is a harrowing and suspenseful page-turner.

English writer Daniel Defoe was an important early figure in the development of the novel, and his works Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders are key examples of his influence. This short piece, originally published as an anonymous pamphlet, recounts a reportedly true encounter with the spirit realm.
Daniel Defoe wrote Moll Flanders in 1722, after the highly successful Robinson Crusoe. Defoe's political work was ceasing at the time, though his experience with the Whigs shines through in the novel. The full title of the novel gives a brief overview of its contents:
The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders, Etc. Who Was Born In Newgate, and During a Life of Continu'd Variety For Threescore Years, Besides Her Childhood, Was Twelve Year a Whore, Five Times a Wife [Whereof Once To Her Own Brother], Twelve Year a Thief, Eight Year a Transported Felon In Virginia, At Last Grew Rich, Liv'd Honest, and Died a Penitent. Written from her own Memorandums.

Jacobitism was a political movement that polarized the United Kingdom in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Its supporters were in favor of re-installing King James II and his heirs to the throne. In this lengthy satirical essay, Robinson Crusoe author Daniel Defoe excoriates the movement and its followers.
Inhalt: Robinson Crusoe di Daniel Defoe è il racconto-monologo di una storia 'semplice' che è diventata uno dei libri più belli e più letti del mondo: quella di Robinson, un giovane marinaio inglese innamorato dei viaggi e dell'avventura che fa naufragio, si salva raggiungendo un'isola deserta, vive in totale solitudine per 24 anni, divide la sua solitudine per altri tre anni con il 'buon selvaggio' Venerdì, poi viene recuperato alla società attraverso una serie di circostanze avventurose e torna in patria. Ci sono stati e ci sono mille modi per interpretare questo capolavoro (che non è certamente solo un racconto per ragazzi come erroneamente viene giudicato): come un trattato sull'educazione, come un simbolo dell'etica progressista e protestante, come un racconto di viaggio, e così via. E' sicuramente un poema epico moderno dove si ritrovano temi e motivi dei viaggi omerici, ma è anche un romanzo 'filosofico' e antischiavista. Certo, Robinson impersona un Ulisse moderno ma contemporaneamente è la rappresentazione vivida dell'homo economicus che si tormenta con i suoi continui esami di coscienza, i dilemmi esistenziali fra materialismo e spiritualità, fra Vecchio Mondo e Nuovo Mondo. Insomma Robinson rappresenta il mito della solitudine di ciascuno, del naufragio sempre possibile, dell'uomo che cade, si rialza, cade ancora e così perpetuamente... Libro immortale perchè semplice, con il minimo di metafore, di luoghi, di azioni, ma sono talvolta i libri semplici che riassumono meglio un mondo che diventa sempre più complesso.

Robinson Crusoe is the fictional autobiography of the title character. As a young man, Crusoe sets out from England on a disastrous sea voyage. His passion for seafaring remains undiminished and so he sets out again, only to be shipwrecked a third time. His journey takes him to Brazil where he becomes a plantation owner. A third and final shipwrecking, however, leaves him stranded for 28 years on a remote island. There he becomes a devout Christian and believes his life lacks nothing but society.
The work is sometimes credited with being the first English novel.

British writer Daniel Defoe is credited with being one of the first writers to dabble in longer-form fiction, eventually leading to the development of the novel format. His final work, published anonymously, follows the life of a remarkable woman who flouts the social strictures of the eighteenth century and takes up with a series of men in order to ensure the survival of her family—but always on her own terms and in a manner consistent with her own unique code of ethics.
The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe is the lesser-known sequel to Defoe's well-loved Robinson Crusoe. Crusoe is married in England when he is overcome by the melancholy urge to visit his island once more. After the death of his wife he sets sail and finds his island in a state of disarray. He installs a code of conduct and leaves the habitants with useful skills. He then sails home via Madagascar, South-East Asia and China and Siberia, where he has further adventures.
This fascinating volume from the author of such influential novels as Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders offers an analytical take on the figure of Satan. Although Defoe offers a comprehensive history of the symbolic and literary significance of the devil, he also believes that the devil plays an active and direct role in determining the course of world events, which he outlines in great detail. All in all, it's a must-read for those interested in theology and the development of the Christian worldview.
