There is no other single work on piracy as important as this contemporary history. It was originally published in 1724 at the close of the "Golden Age of Piracy" in the west. The accompanying footnotes, introduction, and background materials are most useful.             The Complete English Tradesman, Volume I2 reviews Daniel Defoe BiblioBazaar, 2009 Timeless guide to business practicalities Defoe wrote this in the late 1700s, and it was revised in the early 1800s, with comical footnotes about how those antiquated business practices had now been modernized! Defoe was involved in various mercantile ventures, and wrote from hard earned experience, providing a bona fide textbook of business strategy and negotiating practices that is still very cogent today. I'd highly recommend ...             The Buccaneers and Marooners of America: Being an Account of the Famous Adventures and Daring Deeds of ...2 reviews A. O. Exquemelin, Howard Pyle, ... Rio Grande Pr Inc, 1990 The Bucaniers of America No one knows for sure the spelling of the man's name of his nationality, but in 1684 Alexander Esquemeling published in London a powerful, some say mendacious, personal reminiscence of Henry Morgan and other pirates. Histerical at times, this work brilliantly recreates Morgan's most memorable, indeed incredible adventures. A must read for anyone wishing to capture an authentic view of the ...             ROBINSON CRUSOE2 reviews Daniel Defoe George Harrap, 1930 Another Handsome Book from the Heritage Press This review is based on a mid-century reprint of Heritage's edition of Robinson Crusoe. Defoe's book was a hit when first published and this Heritage edition was a hit as well, reprinted several times over the couse of the 20th century.

Both simply do what it takes to survive, although Roxanna must survive as an abandoned single mother in a heartless city, and Crusoe must survive on a deserted island. If Crusoe suffers from not having enough people in his life, Roxanna suffers from having too many. She is constantly trying to re-make herself, to hide ...             Famous Ghost Stories (A Watermill Classic)1 review Amelia B.

Life begins at sixty for Robinson Crusoe. Friday is dead in Robinson Crusoe though, so the blurb is wrong.             Daniel Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year2 reviews Daniel Defoe General Books LLC, 2009 Malignity is the very nature of man In this documentary novel, Defoe sketches poignantly the irrational behaviour of man under extreme circumstances, when death threatens behind every corner of the street. People turned to fortune-tellers, astrologers or conjurers who deluded them. They became the victims of `doctors' selling `infallible preventive pills'. They `swarmed to a wicked generation of pretenders to magic and black ...             Robinhound Crusoe (Adventures of Wishbone)2 reviews Caroline Leavitt, Daniel Defoe, ...
