Crusoe sets sail from the Queen's Dockin Hull on a sea voyage in August 1651.

Autorenporträt
Daniel Defoe (1660 - 1731) war ein englischer Schriftsteller in der Frühzeit der Aufklärung, der durch seinen Roman Robinson Crusoe weltberühmt wurde. Defoe gilt damit als einer der Begründer des englischen Romans. Am 6. Mai 1719 veröffentlichte Defoe seinen ersten Roman Das Leben und die seltsamen Abenteuer des Robinson Crusoe, der schlagartig zu seinem bekanntesten Werk wurde. Weitere Abenteuerromane folgten, darunter Memoirs of a Cavalier und Kapitän Singleton. Wie diese, so trägt auch der 1722 veröffentlichte Roman Glück und Unglück der berühmten Moll Flanders, in dem Defoe die Bekehrung einer Londoner Prostituierten beschreibt, starke Züge seines Glaubens an die Prädestination und die Vorsehung Gottes.
