Daniel Defoe was born in London at 1660 and died at the age of 71. He was an English writer, a secret agent and a journalist.
When he was 35 his family went in to bankruptcy and that was the reason why he became a writer. He changed his name at the same time, from Daniel Foe to Daniel Defoe.
Defoe was locked up in prison and he had to pay a lot of money because he wrote things that were forbidden. He became a politic journalist and after the big success with Robinson Crusoe he only spent time to write novels.

Robinson Crusoe was born at 1632, at an early age Robinson wanted to explore more of the world, but his father who was a wise man didn’t want Robinson to travel around when he was so young.
