Synopsis

This book collects the Robinson Crusoe Trilogy, including: THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOE THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOE SERIOUS REFLECTIONS DURING THE LIFE AND SURPRISING ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOE (the lesser known and very hard to obtain book from this trilogy). Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the books in the trilogy are presented as autobiographies of the title character, a castaway who spends thirty years on a remote tropical island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued. Despite its simple narrative style, Robinson Crusoe was well received in the literary world and is often credited as marking the beginning of realistic fiction as a literary genre. It is one of the most widely published books in history, spawning numerous sequels and adaptations for stage, film, and television.

About the Author

Daniel Defoe (c. 1660 – 24 April 1731), born Daniel Foe, was an English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer, and spy, most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is noted for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to popularise the form in Britain with others such as Samuel Richardson, and is among the founders of the English novel. He was a prolific and versatile writer, producing more than five hundred books, pamphlets, and journals on various topics, including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology, and the supernatural. He was also a pioneer of economic journalism.
