Daniel Defoe - Pamphlets - Volume II: "All evils are to be considered with the good that is in them, and with what worse attends them."

Daniel Defoe, born around 1660, was a multifaceted figure known for his novels, journalism, and pamphleteering. His most famous works, including Robinson Crusoe, have had a lasting impact, with only the Bible being translated into more languages. A prolific writer, Defoe explored diverse topics such as politics and psychology and is recognized as an early advocate for the novel. Despite his literary success, he faced financial troubles, often hiding from creditors, which contributed to his complex legacy until his death in 1731.
