Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) was an English trader, writer and also spy.
He was a prolific writer who explored many different forms of writing.
He produced more than three hundred works in the form of books, pamphlets, and journals.
Despite all his works, Defoe is best known for writing Robinson Crusoe; this book is so popular that it is the second most translated book (after the Bible).
Robinson Crusoe also contributed to the publication and popularity of the novel in Great Britain.
His other important works were Memoirs of a Cavalier, A Journal of the Plague Year, Colonel Jack, Moll Flanders and Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress.
