{"product_id":"memoirs-of-a-cavalier-e-bok","title":"Memoirs of a Cavalier – E-bok","description":"\"Memoirs of a Cavalier\" is a literary sleight of hand. Written in the style of an eyewitness account, it’s actually a work of fiction—a trick Defoe would repeat in his later book \"A Journal of a Plague Year\". Originally published anonymously, many readers of the time were fooled into thinking it was real. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book’s unnamed protagonist is an English gentleman with a lust for adventure. He details his experiences on battlefields across Europe, as a soldier in both the Thirty Years' War and the English Civil War. With its vivid scenes of warfare, \"Memoirs of a Cavalier\" truly makes history come alive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnglish writer Daniel Defoe (c. 1660–1731) led an extraordinary life. As a child, he survived both the Great Fire of London and a major outbreak of the bubonic plague. As an adult, he enjoyed careers as a merchant, political satirist, rebel soldier and even a spy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDefoe was in his fifties before he finally turned his hand to fiction. \"Robinson Crusoe\", his first novel, was an instant bestseller. The story of a shipwrecked sailor, its style and structure made it a landmark text in the history of English literature. His other notable works include \"Moll Flanders\", \"A Journal of the Plague Year\" and \"Captain Singleton\".","brand":"Axiell","offers":[{"title":"E-bok \/ Laddas ner direkt","offer_id":55469143982345,"sku":"9788726644043","price":127.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/8821\/8377\/files\/Memoirs_of_a_Cavalier_E_bok.jpg?v=1780523252","url":"https:\/\/digibok.se\/products\/memoirs-of-a-cavalier-e-bok","provider":"Digibok","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
