Produktbeschreibung
Of Captain Misson blends maritime adventure with a radical philosophical vision, presenting the life of a pirate who seeks to challenge the injustices of his time through the founding of a utopian society. From the outset, the narrative places emphasis on the intellectual and moral awakening of the protagonist, shaped by classical education and dissatisfaction with prevailing religious and political structures. The story builds upon the rejection of traditional hierarchies and embraces a vision of egalitarian governance, influenced heavily by a companion and ideological guide. Together, they envision a community rooted in mutual respect, equality, and secular ethics, sharply contrasting with the brutality and exploitation of both European society and typical piracy. As their unconventional crew navigates colonial waters, each encounter reveals tensions between idealism and reality, exposing the difficulty of maintaining moral integrity in a world defined by greed and violence. The narrative balances criticism of institutional hypocrisy with the thrilling uncertainty of sea battles, storms, and the challenge of organizing men around abstract principles. It serves as both an adventure and a commentary, pushing readers to question authority, justice, and the possibility of moral leadership in lawless spaces.
Autorenporträt
Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) was an English writer, journalist, and businessman who is best known for his novels, particularly Robinson Crusoe, which is widely considered to be one of the first novels in the English language. Defoe was born in London to a wealthy Presbyterian family and was educated at a dissenting academy. Defoe initially worked in the hosiery trade but later turned to writing, publishing a variety of political and social commentary in newspapers and pamphlets. He was a prolific writer, producing over 500 works during his lifetime, including novels, poetry, and essays. Defoe's most famous novel, Robinson Crusoe, was published in 1719 and tells the story of a man who is shipwrecked on a deserted island and must survive on his own. The novel was a huge success and has been translated into numerous languages. In addition to his literary pursuits, Defoe was involved in politics and served as a spy and propagandist for the British government. Defoe died in 1731 and is remembered as one of the most important figures in English literature, as well as a pioneering journalist and political commentator.
