Items related to The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders
This moral comedy of low life set in the reign of Charles II, and probably suggested to the author's imagination by the story of some real criminal whom he met in Newgate, the 'Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders' - how she was five times a wife, twelve years a thief, eight years a transported felon, 'at last grew rich, and died a penitent' - are told with that directness of narrative and reality of incident in which Defoe has never been equalled. Moll herself has incurred the righteous censure of many generations yet she still has the power to pickpocket our affections. She give us, as Mr. E.M. Forster wrote, 'the thrill that proceeds from a living being. She moves us as having height and weight, as breathing and eating, and doing many of the things which are usually left out.'

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book contains Daniel Defoe's seminal 1722 novel, 'The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders'. It purports to be a factual account of Moll Flanders's life from birth until death, and recounts the experiences of a woman who, in her life of but thirty years, was 'twelve year a whore, five times a wife (whereof once to her own Brother), twelve year a thief, eight year a transported felon in Virginia, at last grew Rich, liv'd Honest, and died a Penitent.' This volume would constitute a worthy addition to any bookshelf, and it is highly recommended for fans and collectors of Defoe's work. Daniel Defoe (1660 - 1731) was an English writer, journalist, trader, and spy. Other notable works by this author include 'Robinson Crusoe' (1719), and 'Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress' (1724). Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author. Seller Inventory # 9781443733786
