Synopsis

Robinson Crusoe (1719), read by Tony Britton, is a story that has delighted people of all ages for generations. Shipwrecked, Crusoe survives tropical isolation for 28 years, thanks to his resourceful scavenging, hardy nature and trusted companion 'Man' Friday. Moll Flanders (1722), read by Rowena Cooper, follows its namesake through 5 marriages, incest, prostitution and a string of abandoned children. Played out between Newgate prison and the Virginia Plantations, it is a sympathetic, unapologetic and often comical description of the lengths one has to go to in order to escape poverty.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) visited many foreign countries: no mean feat in the seventeenth century. He was inspired to record his experiences in writing, initially penning short articles and leaflets. Defoe's life was unpredictable, a feature that saturates the characters and plots in his stories. Claimed by some to be the first real 'Novelist', Defoe's writing style is versatile and straight-forward, lending his stories enduring appeal.
