The sole survivor of a shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe is stranded on an uninhabited island far away from any shipping routes. With patience and ingenuity, he transforms his island into a tropical paradise. For twenty-four years he has no human company, until one Friday, he rescues a prisoner from a boat of cannibals.
With Robinson Crusoe, Defoe wrote what is regarded as the first English novel, and created one of the most popular and enduring myths in literature. Written in an age of exploration and enterprise, it has been variously interpreted as an embodiment of British imperialist values, as a portrayal of 'natural man', or as a moral fable. But above all it is a brilliant narrative.
As a boy, young Robinson was forever eager to go to sea, and when he disobeys his parents and first sets sail so begins his extraordinary life of adventures. Shipwreck, pirates, slavery and adversity all await him in this classic story of one man's struggle to endure and survive. A collectable, quality hardback edition of one of the world's most popular, enduring classic novels.
