About the author

Daniel Defoe was an English novelist, journalist, merchant, pamphleteer and spy. He is most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe, published in 1719, which is claimed to be 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, 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 him.
Defoe was a prolific and versatile writer, producing more than three hundred works—books, pamphlets, and journals—on diverse topics, including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology and the supernatural. He was also a pioneer of business journalism and economic journalism.

E não é que gostei muito mais deste clássico do que imaginava?? A única coisa que me desapontou foram as poucas páginas dedicadas à relação do Crusoe com o Sexta-feira (que, erro meu, achava ser o tópico principal do livro). Gostei imenso das reflexões que vão pontuando a vida do protagonista (mesmo antes do naufrágio), as experiências que vai fazendo para sobreviver e toda a riqueza das descrições (que são tudo menos aborrecidas). Muito bom!!
