About This Item
This Book is an edited version of the original work of Daniel DeFoe, which was written and published around 1719. This version of Robinson Crusoe was edited by Lora Peck of the Independent School District of Houston, Texas and published as a reprint by The John C. Winston Company as one of several clear-type popular classic books. This version has 301 pages and several color illustrations and sketches to enhance the reader's experience.
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.
