Going back to ancient Biblical texts, Defoe uses the ideas we have had about the Devil and holds them up to the historical evidence. This shows where many misconceptions about how we think about the spiritual source of evil, a being that started as a powerful being that was to be feared to a trickster type being who sat on our shoulders and tempted us to do evil. Most people, regardless of the backgrounds believe in an external force of evil and Defoe uses those beliefs to gives us a true picture of who and what the Devil is.

Las aventuras de Robinson Crusoe comienzan un dia en el que, desobedeciendo la voluntad de su padre, que desea que estudie leyes, el joven decide acompanar a un amigo suyo en un viaje por mar. Este primer viaje despierta en Robinson el ansia por conocer mundo, y se embarca en distintas expediciones. En una de ellas, el barco en el que viaja naufraga, y Robinson es el unico superviviente. Perdido en una isla desierta debera sobrevivir a las necesidades mas elementales de la vida y, sobre todo, debera sobrevivir a la soledad. Robinson Crusoe es todo un clasico de la literatura de aventuras."

Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published on 25 April 1719. This first edition credited the work's fictional protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author, leading many readers to believe he was a real person and the book a travelogue of true incidents.

Following the success of Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe composed a further tale of high adventure at sea. The result was this lesser-known work, an inspired and hugely enjoyable "first-hand" account of pirate life. In response to an alleged letter accusing him of the worst possible deeds, Captain Avery pens a reply seeking to exonerate himself from all such charges. He sees fit to provide a full account of life as captain of a pirate ship.
