death animals.
They were 8 siblings.

Daniel Defoe was a politic activist. This caused him many problems.
He later collaborated as intelligence agent for the government.
Robinson Crusoe was written in 1719. It’s about the shipwreck of a boat

Defoe died in 1731, although we aren’t sure because he lived
clandestinely because of not having paid his debts.
