About This Item
This Book is an edited reprint of the original Book by Daniel Defoe. The Adventure Story of Robinson Crusoe remains as close as possible to the original, but was edited down in length to better suit the expected audience of readers of Rainbow Classics books in the united States. Book has 287 pages as well as several illustrations and sketches.
Synopsis
Robinson Crusoe was first published in April 1719, in London. In the beginning, the story was published as an autobiography, but it was later established that the author was Daniel Defoe. The novel became an instant classic, with four editions printed in the first year of publication. Often called the first English novel, it follows the story of Robinson Crusoe, a man marooned on an island. Crusoe’s adventure-packed story of survival started the genre of realistic fiction and inspired a slew of other survival novels. Over the course of its publication history, Robinson Crusoe has become the second-most translated book in the world.
