Robinson Crusoe Robinson Crusoe Daniel Defoe ; edited with an introduction and notes by John Richetti. London, England Penguin Books 2001. xxxiv, 251 pages, 1 unnumbered page 20 cm Penguin classics First published 1719. Reprinted 2003. Includes bibliographical references (pages 248-[252]) The sole survivor of a shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe is washed up on a desert island. In his journal he chronicles his daily battle to stay alive, as he conquers isolation, fashions shelter and clothes, first English novel, and created one of the most popular and enduring myths in literature. Written in an age of exploration and enterprise, it has been variously interpreted as an embodiment of British imperialist values, as a portrayal of 'natural man' or as a moral fable. But above all it is a brilliant narrative, depicting Crusoe's transformation from terrified survivor to self-sufficient master of his island.--Back cover. Richetti, John J. editor.
