                                                "A New Voyage Round the World by a Course Never Sailed Before" from Daniel Defoe. English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer, and spy, now most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe (1660-1731).
While those are all impressive accomplishments, Defoe's name has lived on through Robinson Crusoe, one of the first and finest novels ever written. The book is written as a fictional autobiography of Robinson Crusoe, a castaway who spends nearly 30 years on a tropical island, where he encounters all kinds of danger and adventures.
