Best known for "Robinson Crusoe," this restless English writer turned a turbulent life in trade, politics, and journalism into some of the most vivid prose of the early novel. His work mixes adventure, social observation, and the sharp eye of a born pamphleteer.

About the author
Born around 1660 and dying in 1731, he is widely remembered as one of the earliest major English novelists and as the author of Robinson Crusoe, Moll Flanders, and A Journal of the Plague Year.
His life was far from quiet: he worked as a merchant, wrote extensively on politics and religion, and became known for pamphlets and journalism as well as fiction. That mix of practical experience and public controversy helped give his writing its energetic, convincing style.
Readers often come to him for adventure, but his books also show a strong interest in survival, money, morality, and everyday life. Centuries later, his storytelling still feels direct and surprisingly modern.
