Memoirs of a Cavalier - Or, a Military Journal of the Wars in Germany, and the Wars in England - From the Year 1632 to the Year 1648

by Daniel Defoe

Overview

This vintage book comprises Daniel Defoe's 1922 novel, "Memoirs of a Cavalier". One of his more obscure works, this novel tells the tale of a young English nobleman who embarks on a quest to traverse the continent with a friend and see the world. It is written in the style of a memoir, and one that appears so authentic that it fooled many a contemporary into thinking that it was a genuine account. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are thus republishing this classic work in an affordable, high quality, modern edition - complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

A prolific writer, Defoe authored several books on economics, history, biography and crime. He pursued a variety of careers including merchant, soldier, secret agent and political pamphleteer, but is best remembered for his fiction.

The name of the Robinson Crusoe Island, located in the South Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile, was inspired by Defoe's famous story.
