Sobre IBD

Aun siendo mundialmente conocido por unas pocas obras, especialmente Robinson Crusoe y Moll Flanders, Daniel Defoe es posiblemente el escritor más desconocido de la literatura universal. A lo largo de su vida, según una muy prudente estimación se le pueden atribuir cerca de 320 publicaciones en las que se incluyen todos los géneros: panfletos, artículos periodísticos, epístolas, ensayos políticos, proclamas y, de forma absolutamente destacable para su época, novelas, estando considerado como el primer novelista inglés. Con su inmortal Robinson Crusoe creó además lo que se podría llamar «realismo fingido», una forma de contar historias haciendo creer al lector que lo que se narra son hechos reales, no siéndolo en realidad.William Minto (1845-1893), notable crítico literario escocés famoso por sus trabajos sobre la obra de Shakespeare, presenta en este exhaustivo estudio biográfico el sorprendente retrato de la vida privada de Daniel Defoe, una vida por demás azarosa, llena de ambiciosos proyectos tanto en lo político como en lo económico, al tiempo que nos descubre un inesperado personaje repleto de talento y osadía. 10
