Autorenporträt
Daniel Defoe, born around 1660 in London, was a pioneering English writer, journalist, and merchant. Initially involved in trade, Defoe's business ventures were marked by both success and significant financial struggles, which often led him into debt. His early experiences, including the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London, deeply influenced his later writings.Defoe turned to writing as a means of income and became one of the most prolific authors of his time, producing over 300 works on a wide range of topics, including politics, religion, and economics. He is best known for his novel Robinson Crusoe (1719), which is considered one of the first English novels and has been widely translated. Defoe's work was not limited to fiction; he was also a significant figure in early journalism, using his writing to influence public opinion and engage in political discourse.Throughout his life, Defoe was often embroiled in political controversies, leading to his imprisonment on several occasions. His ability to blend fact with fiction in works like A Journal of the Plague Year (1722) demonstrates his skill in creating compelling narratives that resonated with contemporary issues. Defoe's legacy as a writer and thinker continues to be recognized for its impact on literature and journalism.
