Moll Flanders (French)

by Daniel Defoe

Overview

La fortune littéraire de Robinson Crusoé a été si prodigieuse que le nom de l'auteur, aux yeux du public, a presque disparu sous sa gloire. Si Daniel de Foë avait eu la précaution de faire suivre sa signature du titre qu'il avait à la célébrité, la Peste de Londres, Roxana, le Colonel Jacques, le Capitaine Singleton et Moll Flanders auraient fait leur chemin dans le monde. Mais il n'en a pas été ainsi. Pareille aventure était arrivée à Cervantes, après avoir écrit Don Quichotte. Car on ne lut guère ses admirables nouvelles, son théâtre, sans compter Galathée et Persiles y Sigismunde.
