About this book

After a shipwreck leaves him the sole survivor on a remote island, Robinson Crusoe must build a life from nothing—taming the wilderness, growing food, and surviving isolation for years before encountering the companion he names Friday. Often called the first English novel, Defoe's tale of endurance and self-reliance reads as gripping adventure and as a meditation on solitude, faith, and civilization. Presented as a true memoir, its realism was revolutionary. The archetypal desert-island story, it has inspired countless imitations and given the language the very idea of the castaway, remaining a cornerstone of English fiction three centuries on.

About the author

Daniel Defoe

Four books here, and only two of them were signed. Robinson Crusoe appeared in 1719 as the account of a mariner of York, written by himself, and readers took that literally for a while.
