Description
Robinson Crusoe has been read as a gripping adventure story, as a myth of economic man, as a political and social allegory, and as a symbolic statement using the conventions of spiritual autobiography. First published in 1719, the account of the seaman who was shipwrecked and spent twenty-eight years on a desert island, has become one of the most famous stories in English literature, enjoyed by both adults and children.
The text of this edition is based on that of the first edition, which has been collated against the other six authorized editions published during Defoe's lifetime. ISBN:0192815555
