About This Item
1784 Robinson Crusoe Adventures Daniel Defoe Shipwreck French Illustrated 2v SET
"It is never too late to be wise."
― Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe
"One of the most beautiful travel books in figures of the eighteenth century." (Gumuchian)
Called the original adventure novel, Robinson Crusoe was originally published in 1719 and depicts the life of a castaway who learns to survive on an island for decades. However, while it saw substantial success with the masses, there were still those that were not impressed. For instance, Charles Dickens said,
"...Robinson Crusoe should be the only instance of a universally popular book that could make no one laugh and could make no one cry."
Editions of 'Robinson Crusoe' from the 18th-century are considerably rare, and this 1784 French edition is no exception. It contains impressive, full-page engravings as well.
