Publisher's Synopsis
Contains an 8-page plate section with long-unavailable pictures and drawings relating to Daniel Defoe and Robinson Crusoe. Thoroughly edited and extensively annotated. Includes a 10,000-word section on Daniel Defoe's life and works, with a longer chapter on Robinson Crusoe, anecdotes, critical perspectives, adaptations and spin-offs. Includes an original interview with a distinguished contemporary writer on Daniel Defoe's (or Robinson Crusoe's) influence on his/her work. Lavishly produced on natural, high-quality paper, and affordably priced. On one level a simple adventure story, and on other levels an allegory, a quest novel and a spiritual autobiography, Robinson Crusoe has captured the imagination of readers for nearly three centuries.
