Robinson Crusoe
$20.00
From the publisher:
This classic story of a shipwrecked mariner on a deserted island is perhaps the greatest adventure in all of English literature. Fleeing from pirates, Robinson Crusoe is swept ashore in a storm possessing only a knife, a box of tobacco, a pipe-and the will to survive. His is the saga of a man alone: a man who overcomes self-pity and despair to reconstruct his life; who painstakingly teaches himself how to fashion a pot, bake bread, build a canoe; and who, after twenty-four agonizing years of solitude, discovers a human footprint in the sand…
Consistently popular since its first publication in 1719, Daniel Defoe’s story of human endurance in an exotic, faraway land exerts a timeless appeal. The first important English novel, Robinson Crusoe has taken its rightful place among the great myths of Western civilization.
Description
Product Description
One of the first novels ever written, Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe is said to have been based on the true adventures of Alexander Selkirk (who spent four or five years on an island in the South Pacific). The story begins with a universal quest and features a survival adventure that is still enthralling to this day.
