Publisher's Synopsis
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment.The King of Pirates by Daniel Defoe.Following the success of Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe composed another high adventure story at sea. The result was this lesser-known work, an inspired and highly entertaining first-hand account of pirate life. In response to an alleged letter accusing him of the worst possible actions, Captain Avery writes a response seeking to exonerate himself from all such charges. He considers it appropriate to provide a complete account of life as captain of a pirate ship. However, far from being the archetypal villain and murderer, his letters reveal that he is simply an adorable rogue, albeit with a penchant for fine jewelry.Daniel Foe, better known by his pseudonym Daniel Defoe (London, between 1659 and 1661, possibly October 10, 1660-Moorfields, London, April 24, July / May 5, 1731greg.)?
