"Моё настоящее имя настолько хорошо известно в записях и реестрах Ньюгейтской тюрьмы и Старого Бейли, и там ещё остались некоторые важные детали, касающиеся моего конкретного поведения, что вряд ли стоит ожидать, что я назову свое имя или расскажу историю своей семьи в этой книге".
Родившись в грязном мире Ньюгейтской тюрьмы и брошенная в возрасте шести месяцев, Молль Фландерс быстро понимает, что может положиться только на себя. Её история - это отк
Moll Flanders is the story of one woman's epic journey through crime and corruption in eighteenth century London. She was born into the criminal underworld of Newgate prison and soon discovers that her only hope for survival is her cunning and willingness to lie, cheat, and steal just like everyone else in this wretched society. Throughout the novel, we are presented with a wicked portrait of sexual promiscuity, drug addiction, and prostitution. But underneath that sleaze, there is something deeply human, something that will stick with you long after you have finished the book. Daniel Defoe's novel is a dark comedy that explores the moral and societal issues of the time, but at the same time manages to create a sympathetic character who somehow you still find yourself cheering for. It is without doubt one of the most entertaining reads of your adult life.

Описание книги от Даниэль Дефо
HarperCollins is proud to present a range of best-loved, essential classics.‘My true name is so well known in the Records or Registers at Newgate, and in the Old Bailey, and there are some things of such consequence still depending there, relating to my particular conduct, that it is not to be expected I should set my name or the account of my family to this work.’Born into the seedy world of Newgate Prison and abandoned as a baby at six months old, Moll Flanders soon learns that she can only rely on herself. Her story is an unapologetic one of bigamy, prostitution and theft told in her own indomitable and alluring way. Scurrilous and incorrigible, the reader is left wondering whether Moll is merely a brazen criminal, or a victim or her own circumstance.Defoe’s witty romp through the eighteenth-century underworld has much to say about the forces of good and evil and is undeniably one of his most satirical novels.
