CAPITAIN SINGLETON DANIEL DEFOE The first classic of pirate literature. Bob Singleton, a prototypical adventurer of the eighteenth century, ran during his hectic life all sorts of unimaginable adventures since being kidnapped from the hands of his nanny. He went to sea in semi-slavery, but eventually he became a pirate, and traveled across the islands and seas from the Canaries to the West Indies and from the Cape of Good Hope to the Orientals, terrorizing the ships on either side of the world. The great novel of pirates of the author of Robinson Crusoe, a book advanced to its time, with moral reflections totally alien to the thought of then, surprising end.
