Moll Flanders
by Daniel Defoe
Translated by Marcel Schwob
"Moll Flanders" by Daniel Defoe is a novel published in 1722. It follows the turbulent life of a woman born in Newgate Prison who navigates 18th-century England through multiple marriages, romantic entanglements, and shifting fortunes. Driven by a relentless quest for financial security, Moll reinvents herself repeatedly, moving between social classes and moral boundaries. Her journey takes her from servitude to prosperity, across continents and back, as she employs charm, wit, and increasingly desperate measures to survive in an unforgiving world.
