It happened one day about noon, going towards my boat, I was exceedingly surprised with the print of a man's naked foot on the shore.. Shipwrecked in a storm at sea, Robinson Crusoe is washed up on a remote & desolate isl&. As he struggles to piece together a life for himself, Crusoe's physical, moral & spiritual values are tested to the limit. For 24 years he remains in solitude & learns to tame & master the isl&, until he finally comes across another human being. Considered a classic literary masterpiece, & frequently interpreted as a comment on the British Imperialist approach at the time, Defoe's fable was & still is revered as the very first English novel. ...

From its first publication in 1719, Robinson Crusoe has been printed in over 700 editions. It has inspired almost every conceivable kind of imitation & variation, & been the subject of plays, opera, cartoons, & computer games. The character of Crusoe has entered the consciousness of each succeeding generation as readers add their own interpretation to the adventures so thrillingly 'recorded' by Defoe. Praised by eminent figures such as Coleridge, Rousseau & Wordsworth, this perennially popular book was cited by Karl Marx in Das Kapital to illustrate economic theory. However it is readers of all ages over the last 280 years who have given Robinson Crusoe its abiding position as a classic tale of adventure. ...

Daniel Defoe's " Robinson Crusoe", regarded by many to be first novel in English. This edition contains a full chronology of Defoe's life & times, explanatory notes, glossary & a critical introduction discussing " Robinson Crusoe" as a pioneering work of modern psychological realism. ...

A series with silk-ribbon markers & headbands, gold stamping on front & spine, & the original colour illustrations on the jackets. This 1968 version of Defoe's classic aimed to make the original text more accessible to young readers. The engravings are reproduced from a 19th-century edition. ...

It happened one day, about noon, going towards my boat, I was exceedingly surprised with the print of a mans naked foot on the shore...

Thus Defoe describes the heart-stopping moment when
- after years of solitude
- the worlds most famous shipwrecked mariner discovers that he is not totally alone on his isl&.

Although the inspiration came from a real-life castaway called Alexander Selkirk, the novel can be enjoyed as a tale of survival, of spiritual awakening, or as a mythic quest.
