Brief introduction of daniel defoe

/kloc-among the four famous novelists in the 8th century, daniel defoe was the first. Daniel defoe's Robinson Crusoe had a great influence at that time, and it is still a masterpiece that appeals to both refined and popular tastes. Daniel defoe, born in 1660, is known as "the father of novels". 1640, the British bourgeoisie gained political power through violence, but in the year when Defoe was born, the Stuart royal family representing the feudal reactionary forces was restored in Britain. Defoe was born in a small oil candle merchant family, belonging to the middle and lower bourgeoisie, and politically opposed the feudal rule of Stuart royal family. When Defoe was 28 years old, that is, 1688, the bourgeoisie drove out the Stuart royal family and regained power. While doing business, he engaged in political activities and wrote many pamphlets. Because some books and speeches exposed unreasonable phenomena in society at that time, he was put into prison three or four times. At 59, he wrote Robinson Crusoe. This novel is based on a true story. More than 200 years ago, selkirk, a Suge, was a sailor on an English ship. 1704 One day in September, selkirk was abandoned on an uninhabited island in ancient Latin America because of a conflict with the captain. Selkirk was in a bad mood, but he gradually got used to it. He caught goats as food, built two small houses out of wood and sheepskin, used nails as needles, and took apart broken socks for sewing. He lived on an uninhabited island for four years and four months. On February 1709, an English navigator rescued him from the island. When Selkirk returned to Scotland, he often told people about his extraordinary experiences in hotels. Later, Defoe wrote this book based on this story. After Robinson Crusoe, he wrote many novels, such as Captain singleton, Captain Jack, Rock Cha Na, London Plague, Memoirs of a Knight and so on. But he never got into the famous literati circle at that time. These literati have higher social status than him. He was poor all his life, and had to leave home to hide from his debts before he died.
