Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0192822004, Paperback)

Published in 1720, Captain Singleton recounts the tale of Bob Singleton, who goes to sea at the age of twelve, makes a fortune, loses it, and makes another as a pirate before he is ultimately reformed. More than merely an adventure story or a travel narrative, Captain Singleton offers a searching exploration of society from the point of view of its outcasts. Taken from the text of the first edition, this volume contains a a new introduction which incorporates the most recent developments in Defoe scholarship and criticism.
