Daniel Defoe
Daniel Defoe, né vers **1660** à Londres et mort en **1731**, est un écrivain, journaliste et pamphlétaire anglais, souvent considéré comme l’un des pères du roman moderne. Aventurier dans l’âme, il a exercé de nombreux métiers (commerçant, espion, éditeur) avant de se consacrer à l’écriture. Son œuvre la plus célèbre, *Robinson Crusoé* (1719), s’inspire de l’histoire vraie d’un naufragé et a donné naissance à un genre littéraire : la **robinsonnade**. Defoe a marqué la littérature par son réalisme et sa capacité à mêler aventure et réflexion philosophique.
