The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders is a book by Daniel Dafoe, written in 1722. This book tells the thrilling story of Flanders and his exploits from birth to old age. This book popularised the picaresque genre in Britain. It was subject to severe censorship due to its depictions of gender, poverty, and incest.

"I had been tricked once by that Cheat called love, but the Game was over..."

Moll Flanders is born to a mother who was imprisoned and later transported to the United States, abandoning Moll. There, Moll was left to the care of a foster mother with two sons, who soon become infatuated with her. After she marries the youngest one, she is faced with hardship after she becomes a widow and figures out a secret about her dead husband. This will be the beginning of a thrilling adventure where Moll, cunning and witty, will use her womanly charms to gain more power and scale the socioeconomic ladder by finding wealthier and wealthier husbands. How will she fare? Will she ever repent? You will have to read the book to find out!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Daniel Defoe

Daniel Foe — o apelido só seria alterado pelo autor em 1695 para Defoe — (1660-1731), é considerado por muitos o primeiro romancista de língua inglesa. Foi comerciante, economista, jornalista e espião antes de escrever o seu primeiro romance, As Aventuras de Robinson Crusoe, aos sessenta anos.
Tendo testemunhado na infância a Peste e o Grande Incêndio de Londres, acabou por se transformar num apaixonado por viagens depois de conhecer profundamente países como a França, Espanha e os Países Baixos. Com uma vida extremamente aventurosa, esteve encarcerado por dívidas e lutou durante um breve período de tempo na rebelião do duque de Monmouth. Poucos anos depois começou a escrever panfletos político-satíricos que, de novo, o iriam conduzir à prisão. Por intervenção de um ministro Tory, acabaria por ser libertado e durante onze anos viria a ser agente secreto e jornalista político dos Tories. Deliciou-se durante toda a vida na representação de diversos papéis e disfarces, utilizando-os com grande efeito como espião, e escreveu mais de quinhentos livros, panfletos e artigos jornalísticos abrangendo tópicos como a política, crime, religião, geografia, matrimónio, psicologia e sobrenatural. Morreu na cidade de Londres em 1731, segundo se diz de «uma letargia».
