Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. Roxana, or The Fortunate Mistress by Daniel Defoe is a novel that tells the story of Roxana, a woman who begins life in poverty but rises to wealth and power through a series of relationships, including with wealthy men. The novel is presented as Roxana's confession and recounts her transformation from a naïve young woman to a skilled manipulator who uses her beauty and intelligence to secure her financial security. Throughout the story, Roxana grapples with themes of morality, virtue, and the consequences of her actions. The book explores the complexities of love, desire, and self-interest, offering a critique of societal norms and the roles women were expected to play during the 17th and 18th centuries. Roxana is a provocative exploration of a woman's struggle for autonomy and survival in a patriarchal world.
