Details: The story of "Moll Flanders", with which the modern novel and modern realism begins, is a motley, dramatic and moving picture of the life into which Defoe poured all his wealth of knowledge. In fact, the writer entrusted this novel with the representation of his own image of the world, revealing, with a sober, robust and incisive prose, a puritanical nature and a marked vein of polemicist and reformist. His Moll was born in prison to a thief mother, "she was a prostitute twelve years, married five times (one of them to her brother), a thief twelve years, deported to Virginia eight years"; she lived a tumultuous existence in London and elsewhere, surrounded by some two hundred personages, but hers remained a condition of painful solitude. Forced to survive in a hostile environment, she reached serenity only as life declined. Introduction by Agostino Lombardo.
