Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress

In the vibrant yet unforgiving world of 18th-century England and Europe, Roxana, a woman abandoned by her husband must find a way to survive in a society that leaves her few options. Driven by desperation and ambition she uses her beauty, intelligence, and charm to ascend from destitution to the heights of wealth and influence as a courtesan. Her life becomes a series of calculated liaisons with powerful men, each relationship further entangling her in a web of moral compromise and secrecy.
The tension between independence and vulnerability, material wealth and inner peace, creates a compelling portrait of a woman who dares to defy societal norms but ultimately faces the consequences of her actions.

DANIEL DEFOE [1660-1731] was one of England's most versatile and prolific authors ever: a poet, journalist, political writer, travel writer, and essayist on subjects such as history and economics, among others. He is most renowned for the novels Robinson Crusoe [1719] and - the most critically acclaimed - Moll Flanders [1722].
