Robinson En 1632, je naquis a York, d'une bonne famille, mais qui n'etait point de ce pays. Mon pere, originaire de Breme, etabli premierement a Hull, apres avoir acquis de l'aisance et s'etre retire du commerce, etait venu resider a York, ou il s'etait allie, par ma mere, a la famille Robinson, une des meilleures de la province. C'est a cette alliance que je devais mon double nom de Robinson-Kreutznaer; mais, aujourd'hui, par une corruption de mots assez commune en Angleterre, on nous nomme, nous nous nommons et signons Crusoe. C'est ainsi que mes compagnons m'ont toujours appele."

Robinson Crusoé

This purportedly true story, recorded by English author Daniel Defoe, tells of the strange life of Moll Flanders, a woman who lives in sin and wickedness, surviving only on her beauty, cleverness, and deceit. Finding herself in the role of mistress or kept woman, or alternatively married to a man that she does not love, Moll seduces various men and resorts to thievery to pay her way before eventually repenting for her sins at the end of her life. Moll Flanders was one of Defoe's later works, written during a prolific period during which he published other famous works including The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Roxana, and A Journal of the Plague Year. Due to the somewhat scandalous nature of its content, Moll Flanders did not experience the immediate success that other of Defoe's works did upon publication, but has since become recognized as a significant literary achievement.

Moll Flanders

Robinson Crusoe, figlio di una famiglia agiata, ha davanti a sé un tranquillo futuro di uomo di legge o di commerciante. Ma il desiderio di conoscere il mondo lo assilla al punto che, ignorando le raccomandazioni paterne, si imbarca su una piccola nave, diretto a Londra. Da quel momento la sua esistenza sarà un susseguirsi di avventure terribili e straordinarie. Fino al giorno in cui, unico superstite di un naufragio, finisce su un'isola deserta, dove lo aspetta la sfida più ardua: sopravvivere con il solo aiuto del suo ingegno, in compagnia soltanto di se stesso e col sostegno esclusivo della sua forza interiore.

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.
