A diferencia de los vampiros y los zombis, los fantasmas son más bien tímidos y poco comunicativos. Solo unos pocos se muestran absolutamente hostiles. Se les ha visto traspasando muros sólidos y aunque sus apariciones no suelen sobrepasar unos segundos, tienden a volver casi siempre al mismo sitio y a la misma hora. Esta es una antología de los mejores cuentos de fantasmas en una nueva traducción, ilustrados, con notas y apéndice de Vicente Muñoz Puelles.

During one of his several adventurous voyages in the 1600s, an Englishman becomes the sole survivor of a shipwreck and lives for nearly thirty years on a deserted island. Illustrated notes throughout the text explain the historical background of the story.

Daniel Defoe is most well-known for his classic novels Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders. Born around 1660, he was also a journalist, a pamphleteer, a businessman, a spy. His life was long and colourful, and the breadth of his work, still highly regarded, is infused with similar vigour. It is said that only the bible has been printed in more languages than Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is also noted for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel. He was extremely prolific and a very versatile writer, producing several hundred books, pamphlets, and journals on various topics including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology and the supernatural. He was also a pioneer of economic journalism though was made bankrupt on more on one occasion and usually mired in debt. In later life Defoe was often most seen on Sundays when bailiffs and the like could legally make no move on him. Allegedly it was whilst hiding from creditors that he died on April 24th, 1731. He was interred in Bunhill Fields, London.

The travel narrative offers a captivating exploration of the southernmost point of England, showcasing Daniel Defoe's keen observations and vivid storytelling. Set in the 18th century, it takes readers on a journey from London to Land's End, highlighting the landscapes, culture, and experiences encountered along the way. Defoe's insights provide a rich historical context and a personal perspective on the places he visits.
