Description

Following the success of Robinson Crusoe, Defoe composed a further tale of high adventure at sea. The result was this lesser-known work, an inspired and hugely enjoyable "first-hand" account of pirate life. In response to an alleged letter accusing him of the worst possible deeds, Captain Avery pens a reply seeking to exonerate himself from all such charges. He sees fit to provide a full account of life as captain of a pirate ship. Yet far from being the archetypal, murderous villain, his letters reveal him simply to be a lovable rogue--albeit one with something of a penchant for fine jewels.

About the Author

Daniel Defoe is best known as the author of Robinson Crusoe. His contribution to the English novel is invaluable, his fictional first-hand accounts detailing exotic plots in straightforward, documentary prose. In addition to his novels, Defoe also worked as a journalist, satirist, moralist, historian, and travel writer, his vast literary output a curious marriage of realism and fantasy that provides much insight into early eighteenth-century life and a lasting contribution to the novel genre.
