Defoe, Daniel
Synopsis "Robinson Crusoe"
This collector's edition is cleanly formatted for easy reading. 12 point Garamond, 1.15 spacing. Robinson Crusoe's parents want him to have a responsible, safe life. However, true to his rebellious nature, he takes off to sea, fulfills his youthful desires for voyages and encounters different people and numerous misfortunes. With many trying journeys under his belt, he ends up a castaway on a deserted island where he lives for twenty-eight years. Miraculously, after decades, he rescues a man he names "Friday" and acquires other companions following various exciting, edge-of-your-seat adventures. One of the first novels ever written, Robinson Crusoe remains a fantastic and amusing book. It is sure to hold the reader's attention and be remembered long after it is put down. As thrilling to survival adventure-lovers today as it was in 1719.
Daniel Defoe (Londres, 1660-1731) fue novelista, periodista, poeta e historiador; su vida transcurrió por oscuros vericuetos: viajes, empleos diversos, amistades políticas y misiones secretas. En su obra cultivó distintos géneros, como la sátira: El verdadero inglés de Inglaterra (1701), El medio más rápido para acabar con los disidentes (1702) y Augusta Triumphants o Cómo hacer de Londres la ciudad más floreciente del mundo (1728); la novela realista: La aventuras de Moll Flanders (1722), Diario del año de la peste (1722) y Roxana o la amante afortunada(1724), y el ensayo económico-político: Consideraciones sobre el crédito público (1724), El perfecto comerciante inglés (1726) y Plan del comercio inglés (1728). Con todo, su obra más conocida es sin duda Robinson Crusoe (1719).
