Publisher's Synopsis
The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
Daniel Defoe's novel, The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, tells the story of a castaway who spends many years on a desert island, where he meets cannibals, prisoners, and mutineers before being finally rescued. The book was a huge success when it was first published: for two centuries after its publication it was the second most published book in the world, after the Bible. It also had a major influence on later literature and is considered to be one of the first novels in the modern sense of the word.
