«Moll Flanders» is the adventure novel by Daniel Defoe, published by Valdemar in paperback (448 pages, in Spanish).
Moll Flanders narrates the life of an orphan who struggles to make her way in seventeenth-century England. Her adventures unfold between high society, the underworld, prison, and deportation to the colonies. With a far-from-exemplary character, Defoe harshly portrays his era, between criminal literature and the picaresque.
It belongs to the El Club Diógenes collection from Valdemar (number 56). This novel was originally published in 1722 under the title The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders.
For readers of English literature classics and historical adventure novels.
Daniel Defoe was an English writer, journalist, merchant and spy. He is famous for his novels Robinson Crusoe (1719), Moll Flanders (1722) and Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress (1724). He has been seen as one of the earliest proponents of the English novel, and helped to popularise the form in Britain with others such as Aphra Behn and Samuel Richardson.
