Produktbeschreibung

The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (now more commonly rendered as The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe) is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published in 1719. Just as in its significantly more popular predecessor, Robinson Crusoe (1719), the first edition credits the work's fictional protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author. It was published under the considerably longer original title: The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe; Being the Second and Last Part of His Life, And of the Strange Surprising Accounts of his Travels Round three Parts of the Globe. Although intended to be the last Crusoe tale, the novel is followed by a non-fiction book involving Crusoe by Defoe entitled Serious Reflections During the Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe: With his Vision of the Angelick World (1720).

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.
