Memoires et Avantures de Madlle. Moll Flanders, Ecrits Par Elle-Meme

Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published on 25 April 1719. The first edition credited the work's protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author, leading many readers to believe he was a real person and the book a travelogue of true incidents.Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is presented as an autobiography of the title character (whose birth name is Robinson Kreutznaer), a castaway who spends 28 years on a remote tropical desert island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued. The story has been thought to be based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived for four years on a Pacific island called "Más a Tierra", now part of Chile, which was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966.Despite its simple narrative style, Robinson Crusoe was well received in the literary world and is often credited as marking the beginning of realistic fiction as a literary genre. It is generally seen as a contender for the first English novel. Before the end of 1719, the book had already run through four editions, and it has gone on to become one of the most widely published books in history, spawning so many imitations, not only in literature but also in film, television and radio, that its name is used to define a genre, the Robinsonade.

L'Isle de Robinson Crusoé

La publication du premier volume ("Les Chemins de Fortune") de l'Histoire Générale des plus Fameux Pyrates de Daniel Defoe a été pour les lecteurs de langue française, privés longtemps de l'accès à ce chef d’œuvre, une surprise qui n'est pas près de se laisser oublier. Avec le second volume ("Le Grand rêve flibustier"), c'est l'aspect le plus méconnu de la geste pirate qui se trouve mis en lumière : l'histoire de ces " utopistes " issus de la racaille des mers et qui réalisèrent dans les îles du Sud, un siècle avant la Révolution, quelques troublants modèles de contre-société - preuve s'il en est qu'une autre révolte anime, par-delà les clichés en honneur; la grande légende des vaisseaux noirs.Tout cela finira assez mal, on s'en doute. Mais n'en livrons pas plus au lecteur, impatient déjà d'embarquer en la compagnie du plus fascinant des guides rien de moins que l'auteur de Robinson Crusoé !

Histoire générale des plus fameux pyrates, Tome 2 : Le grand rêve flibustier

I was born in the year 1632, in the city of York, of a good family, though not of that country, my father being a foreigner of Bremen, who settled first at Hull. He got a good estate by merchandise, and leaving off his trade, lived afterwards at York, from whence he had married my mother, whose relations were named Robinson, a very good family in that country, and from whom I was called Robinson Kreutznaer; but, by the usual corruption of words in England, we are now called-nay we call ourselves and write our name-Crusoe; and so my companions always called me.

The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe

Giunta in Inghilterra con i suoi genitori dopo aver abbandonato la città natale di Poiter, la bella Roxana sposa giovanissima un ricco birraio. Ma dopo alcuni anni di vita brillante, suo marito la abbandona e fugge all'estero per evitare la bancarotta. Ridotta in estrema povertà, Roxana affida i figli ai suoceri e, con la complicità della sua giovane e viziosa servetta Amy, diventa l'amante del proprio padrone di casa. La coppia si trasferisce a Parigi, dove Roxana diventa presto famosa per la sua bellezza. Ma dopo l'assassinio del suo amante, la donna baratta la propria virtù per la fama e la ricchezza e cade nelle braccia di un principe reale, con il quale si reca in Italia per proseguire, tra alterne fortune, la sua carriera di spregiudicata cortigiana. Narrato in forma autobiografica, "Lady Roxana" è la storia di una donna piena di ambizioni, dall'energia indomabile e dalla vitalità straordinaria, che rifiuta la propria condizione sociale, arrivando fino al crimine, alla menzogna e al carcere pur di raggiungere la ricchezza. A lungo trascurato e messo in ombra da "Le avventure di Moll Flanders", suo più fortunato predecessore, questo romanzo di Defoe è oggi apprezzato per il suo giusto valore, in particolare per la sua complessità psicologica e morale. Pur essendo stato scritto circa trecento anni fa, "Lady Roxana" riesce ancora oggi ad appassionare e scandalizzare il lettore, in particolare per le sue tematiche incentrate sull'indigenza, la prostituzione, l'abbandono dei figli e la vivace dissolutezza dei personaggi. La presente versione corrisponde alla prima edizione del testo datata 1724, cioè all'opera originale così come concepita dall'autore, senza divisione in capitoli. Successivamente, nel 1745, l'editore modificherà il testo per aggiungervi un finale più edificante. Completano questa edizione le illustrazioni di John Ward Dunsmore.
