Daniel Defoe, born Daniel Foe, was an English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer and spy. He is most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe, which is second only to the Bible in its number of translations. Defoe is noted for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to popularise the form in Britain with others such as Aphra Behn and Samuel Richardson, and is among the founders of the English novel. Defoe wrote many political tracts and often was in trouble with the authorities, including prison time. Intellectuals and political leaders paid attention to his fresh ideas and sometimes consulted with him. Defoe was a prolific and versatile writer, producing more than three hundred works-books, pamphlets, and journals-on diverse topics, including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology, and the supernatural. He was also a pioneer of business journalism and economic journalism.

Robinson Crusoe blåser av farens påstand om at han bør være fornøyd med sin beskjedne plass i samfunnet. Han rømmer hjemmefra i håp om å tjene seg rik, men veien til lykke og velstand skal vise seg å bli en tornefull affære. Snart kommer første advarsel fra Gud i form av en voldsom storm til sjøs. Da Crusoe til alt hell overlever denne, kommer andre advarsel hvor han blir tatt til fange og solgt som slave. Han frigis, tjener seg snart rik på en plantasje i det frodige Brasil. Da han så velger å investere deler av sin velstand i slavehandel, kommer tredje advarsel i form av et tragisk forlis. Robinson Crusoe er den eneste som overlever og redder seg med nød og neppe i land på det som skal vise seg å være en ubebodd og faretruende øy. Robinson Crusoe regnes i dag som verdenslitteraturens første realistiske roman, en nyvin.ning som ikke bare gjorde Daniel Defoe verdensberømt, men som også skapte «robinsonaden» som fortellergrep, en viktig inspirasjon for bl.a. Jonathan Swift, Robert Louis Stevenson og Jules Verne. For dagens lesere er boken en viktig påminnelse om vårt sårbare livsgrunnlag. Kanskje er Robinson Crusoe ganske enkelt en kulturhistorisk nødvendighetsartikkel, eller et kildeskrift om vår sivilisasjon, som vi ustanselig må vende tilbake til for å hente inspirasjon til diskusjonen om oss selv og vår egen samtid og fremtid.
