About this audiobook
Daniel Defoe born Daniel Foe; c. 1660 - 24 April 1731) was an English writer, trader, journalist, pamphleteer and spy. He is most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe, published in 1719, which is claimed to be second only to the Bible in its number of translations.

Intellectuals and political leaders paid attention to his fresh ideas and sometimes consulted him.nRUNNING AWAY TO SEA: In an ill hour, God knows, on the 1st of September, 1651, I went onnboard a ship bound for London. Never any young adventurer's misfortunes, I believe, began sooner, or continued longer, than mine.
