Description:
<jats:p xml:lang="en">Daniel Defoe's The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe is usually given a place in the literature of exile, but just as Crusoe is divided between a terrible loneliness and a pleasure in solitude, Defoe too equivocated on this subject. His career as a spy often turned his personal life into a form of exile. His fictions dramatized the experience: through the sufferings of his spy in A Continuation of Letters Written by a Turkish Spy at Paris and the resolve of his Russian Prince in Siberia told in The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe: Being the Second and Last Part of His Life , Defoe expresses the exile's longing for his home and acceptance of his fate.</jats:p>
