Aventures de Robinson Crusoé

Publiée en deux volumes en 1726 par un Mystérieux " Captain Johnson ", l'histoire Générale des plus Fameux Pyrates est considérée depuis toujours comme la bible de tous ceux qui s'intéressent à la Flibuste et, accessoirement, comme l'un des textes les plus surprenants de la littérature anglaise. Chose étrange, ce chef-d'oeuvre partout cité, souvent pillé, n'a jamais été intégralement traduit en français avant la présente édition. Le grand historien anglais Christopher Hill, un personnage dont la stature est comparable à celle d'un Fernand Braudel chez nous, après vingt ans d'enquête, a acquis la certitude que l'auteur de cette merveille n'est autre que... Daniel Defoe. L'auteur de Robinson Crusoé nous offre ici trente-huit récits véridiques qui se lisent comme autant de romans à inscrire en lettres d'or et de sang dans le grand livre de la révolte humaine.

Les Chemins de Fortune

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.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

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

Part of the outstanding biographical series - edited by Richard Holmes - that recovers the great classical tradition of English biography. Every book is a biographical masterpiece, still thrilling to read and vividly alive.

 In this pioneering series, Richard Holmes, the world's leading Romantic biographer, sets out to recover the great forgotten tradition of English biographical writing. 'I have had no time for dusty tomes, ' writes Holmes, 'I have looked for brevity, intelligence and style. Above all, I have sought out great biographical writers: biographers with passion, biographers who have found a way to the heart and soul of a memorable subject.'

 Jack Sheppard was an 18th-century Houdini - a handsome young escape artist who broke out of his cell on Newgate's grim Death Row three times. Jonathan Wild was the infamous Thief-Taker General who helped to recapture him and many other criminals, only to be tried and executed himself for racketeering, among scenes of mayhem at Tyburn.

 Daniel Defoe, the master of adventure fiction, was fascinated by 'True Confessions' and the workings of the criminal personality (including its daring, its stoicism and its humour). He was the first to retell these stories, based on personal interviews in Newgate, which also include a thrilling (sometimes hour by hour) reconstruction of events.

"Ce sauvage, grand garçon bien découplé, était parfaitement proportionné et son air mâle me parut dénué de férocité. Après avoir reposé pendant une demi-heure, il vint à moi en courant, et, se jetant à mes pieds avec gratitude, renouvela son serment de fidélité en posant mon pied sur sa tête. Je lui donnai le nom de Vendredi en mémoire du jour où je l'avais sauvé..." Robinson Crusoé, un jeune Anglais d'York, n'a qu'un désir : prendre le large. Mais, après un terrible naufrage dont il est le seul survivant, il se retrouve sur une île déserte. Il y restera 28 ans... Le premier des romans d'aventures et l'un des plus formidables du genre.
