biography of Daniel DefoeIn this article we will briefly tell about what was a biography of Daniel Defoe ’ Creator beloved works. Historians disagree: when was born the famous writer. In the absence of any just confirming this information document, it is assumed that Defoe was born around 1660. In the mid-17th century in London, the son of a fairly wealthy meat dealer was born on little Daniel. From early childhood he showed a strong thirst for reading, which could not dissapoint his parents. Mother and father hoped that their son would become a priest or, at worst, continue the family business. But fate decreed otherwise.

Early biography of Daniel Defoe is full of bright events: the Puritan theological Academy, and attempts writing poetry on religious themes, and even the accounting craft at hosiery factory. At the age of 25 years (in 1685), the young man began his career as a merchant. Wine and tobacco, stockings and materials – thanks to the powers of persuasion Defoe had a wide clientele not only in England but also abroad. However every take-off was followed by a rapid decline. Financial well-being always followed by collapse. Later, the writer will say that thirty times he became incredibly rich, and the same time is absolutely poor.

However, his religious views set out in the work “the Surest way to get rid of dissenters” did not find a response following the ruling power, which was Anna Stuart. And again, by happy coincidence, the rebel was released from custody.

After coming to the throne of the house of Hanover Defoe again becomes involved in political infighting. Once in jail, the writer decides to leave the lost cause of the battle with politicians and become an ordinary citizen.
