Daniel DefoeSynopsis
Classic Crime Press presents you The Life, Adventures & Piracies of the Famous Captain Singleton in a fantastic ebook edition.
The Life, Adventures and Piracies of the Famous Captain Singleton (1720) is a novel by Daniel Defoe. It is believed to have been partly inspired by the exploits of English pirate Henry Every.
The narrative describes the life of an Englishman, stolen from a well-to-do family as a child and raised by Gypsies who eventually makes his way to sea.
One half of the book concerns Singletons crossing of Africa and the later half concerns his life as a pirate in the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. Defoes description of piracy focuses for the most part on matters of economics and logistics, making it an intriguing if not particularly gripping read. Singletons pirate behaves more like a merchant adventurer, perhaps Defoes comment on the mercantilism of his day.
