Synopsis "Moll Flanders (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) (in English)"

Moll Flanders is born in Newgate Prison and raised by a kindly foster mother. Eventually she becomes a servant in a house where she first realises the effect she has on men. Greedy and ambitious, Moll decides to pursue only wealthy men. She bears many children, finds true love, and at one point becomes an accomplished thief. Moll will have to travel back to her roots in order to find redemption. Moll Flanders has been called a spiritual autobiography, which is defined as a genre of non-fiction prose that dominated Protestant writing during the seventeenth century, particularly in England. Books within this genre follow a pattern of shallow repentances, followed by a fall back into sin, and eventually culminating in a conversion experience that has a profound impact on the course of their life from that point.This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

Daniel Defoe (Londres, 1660-1731) fue novelista, periodista, poeta e historiador; su vida transcurrió por oscuros vericuetos: viajes, empleos diversos, amistades políticas y misiones secretas. En su obra cultivó distintos géneros, como la sátira: El verdadero inglés de Inglaterra (1701), El medio más rápido para acabar con los disidentes (1702) y Augusta Triumphants o Cómo hacer de Londres la ciudad más floreciente del mundo (1728); la novela realista: La aventuras de Moll Flanders (1722), Diario del año de la peste (1722) y Roxana o la amante afortunada(1724), y el ensayo económico-político: Consideraciones sobre el crédito público (1724), El perfecto comerciante inglés (1726) y Plan del comercio inglés (1728). Con todo, su obra más conocida es sin duda Robinson Crusoe (1719).
