Robinson Crusoe--The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe--Captain Singleton--Moll Flanders--A Journal of the Plague Year.
Daniel Defoe was an innovative writer whose prose works in the early eighteenth century helped to revolutionize the novel as a literary form. Steeped in satire and full of trenchant social and political criticism, Defoe's novels open a fascinating window on the time and place where they were written, even as they abound with entertainment for the modern reader.
This literary omnibus features five of Defoe's best-known works, among them his masterpiece, Robinson Crusoe, and its sequel The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe. Included as well are Captain Singleton, Moll Flanders, and the historical novel A Journal of the Plague Year, all of which continue to influence the way we read and write fiction today.
