The narrative describes the life of an Englishman , stolen from a well-to-do family as a child and raised by Gypsies who eventually makes his way to sea. One half of the book concerns Singleton's crossing of Africa and the later half concerns his life as a Pirate . Defoe's description of piracy focuses for the most part on matters of Economics and Logistics , making it an intriging if not particularly gripping read. Singleton's piracy is more like a merchant adventurer, perhaps Defoe's comment on Capitalism . |
