Description

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Captain Singleton is a Daniel Defoe novel, originally published in 1720. It has been republished several times since then, some of which were in 1840 and 2008. Captain Singleton is believed to have been inspired in part by the exploits of the English pirate Henry Every, which operated in the late 17th century. The narrative describes the life of the Englishman, Singleton, stolen from a wealthy family as a child and raised by gypsies, who was eventually heading to the sea. The first half of the book refers to the crossing of Africa by Singleton, the second half refers to his life as a pirate in the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. Defoe's description of piracy focuses for the most part on matters of economics and logistics, and Singleton's pirate behaves more like a merchant adventurer, perhaps Defoe's comment on the mercantilism of his day.The Life, Adventures, and Pyracies, by the famous Captain Singleton (1720) covers the land and the sea in a single volume, in two carefully composed halves. The first half of the novel includes a remarkable overland journey through Africa after the characters are stranded in Madagascar, and the second half is almost entirely at sea, implying pirate robberies in the East Indies.
