Description
Robinson Crusoe es una de las obras más famosas del célebre escritor inglés Daniel Defoe, publicada en 1719 y considerada la primera novela inglesa. Se trata de una autobiografía ficticia del protagonista, un náufrago inglés que pasa 28 años en una remota isla desierta. Probablemente la historia tuvo como inspiración hechos reales ocurridos a Pedro Serrano y Alexander Selkirk, a partir de donde construiría, con una trama sencilla y auténtica, un símbolo del colonialismo, del hombre perfecto y de la moral suprema.

Daniel Foe was born in London c. 1660, the son of James, a prosperous chandler and Presbyterian dissenter. He lived through the Great Plague of 1665 and the Great Fire of 1666, which left only his and two other houses standing in the area. As a general merchant, he was able to buy a country estate and a ship, though he was nearly always in debt. He joined the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685, but was pardoned. However, he spent a spell in debtor's prison, after which he travelled Europe and Scotland, returning in 1695, when, now surnamed Defoe, he began serving as a Commissioner of the Glass Duty and, in 1696, running a brick and tile factory. He became a prolific pamphleteer, which led him to the pillory and Newgate Prison. In exchange for his liberty, he agreed to work as an intelligence agent for the Tories, then as a propagandist for the Whigs, and then as a mouthpiece for the Anglo-Scottish Union. His novels and non-fiction books occupied him from the mid 1710s until his death in 1731.
