Autorenporträt
Daniel Defoe, born around 1660 in London, was a writer, trader, and journalist who became one of the earliest novelists in the English language. Known for his adventurous spirit, Defoe engaged in various businesses and faced financial hardships, leading him to become a prolific pamphleteer. His life experiences, including time in prison, greatly influenced his writing and shaped his views on politics and society.In 1719, Defoe published Robinson Crusoe, which gained widespread acclaim and is often credited as one of the first English novels. His writing style, blending realism with fiction, allowed readers to engage deeply with his characters' inner lives. This novel, along with his other works, significantly impacted the development of the English novel and storytelling.Throughout his life, Defoe continued writing novels, essays, and political pamphlets, often under pseudonyms. His later works, like Moll Flanders and A Journal of the Plague Year, further explored complex characters and social themes. Defoe's legacy as a pioneer of English literature endures, with his novels still celebrated for their insight into human nature and society.
