Book excerpt: Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published on 25 April 1719. The first edition credited the work's protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author, leading many readers to believe he was a real person and the book a travelogue of true incidents.Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is presented as an autobiography of the title character (whose birth name is Robinson Kreutznaer)-a castaway who spends 28 years on a remote tropical desert island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued. The story has been thought to be based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived for four years on a Pacific island called "Más a Tierra", now part of Chile, which was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buy now to get the main key ideas from Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe Robinson Crusoe (1719) is a classic novel about survival and resilience. Crusoe, a young Englishman, leaves home to pursue seafaring adventures. After several misfortunes, Crusoe ends up stranded on an uninhabited island following a shipwreck. He manages to establish a life for himself, constructing a habitation, making tools, and hunting for food. He spends 28 years as a castaway, encountering both cannibals and mutineers before his return to civilization. Crusoe is not a typical hero; he’s accident-prone and more stubborn than brave. His story is narrated in first-person, making it more believable. Author Daniel Defoe, one of the founders of the English novel, was also a merchant and traveler. Much like Crusoe, he was a man who could improvise and survive. Robinson Crusoe, his first novel, was successful because it was perceived as factual rather than fictional, while exploring materialism, isolation, power dynamics, faith, atonement, and other universal topics. Robinson Crusoe continues to resonate in Western culture. The tale has been reimagined and adapted for TV and movies.

Book excerpt: From the award-winning author of Old Filth. “[A] wonderfully old-fashioned novel . . . This post-Victorian charmer is an engrossing delight” (People). In 1904, six-year-old Polly Flint is sent by her sea captain father to live with her aunts in a house by the sea on England’s northeast coast. Orphaned shortly thereafter, Polly will spend the next eighty years stranded in this quiet corner of the world as the twentieth century rages in the background. Through it all, Polly returns again and again to the story of Robinson Crusoe, who, marooned like her, fends off the madness of isolation with imagination. In the Guardian’s series on writers and readers’ favorite comfort books, associate editor Claire Armitstead said of Crusoe’s Daughter, “This is the most bookish of books . . . Every time I return to it, I am comforted by its refusal to conform, its wonderful, boisterous bolshiness, and the intelligence with which it demonstrates that we are what we read.” “Witty, subversive, moving.” —The Times (London) “[A] richly textured novel . . . much occurs on the emotional landscape. We know Polly intimately, and she haunts our imaginations as surely as Crusoe haunts hers . . . a thought-provoking book.” —Library Journal “[The] most seductively entertaining of British novelists.” —Kirkus Reviews

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the timeIts original title is: The life and incredible adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, sailor, who lived twenty-eight years completely alone on an uninhabited island on the shores of America, near the mouth of the great Orinoco River; having been dragged to the shore after a shipwreck, in which all the men died except him. With an explanation of how in the end he was unusually released by pirates. Written by himself. But well, for friends it is Robinson Crusoe.I do not know if this work, the most famous of Daniel Defoe, can be considered, today, as the predecessor of the youth novel. We cannot forget that we are talking about a book published in 1719, and that it is the founding novel of adventures. Therefore it represents an incalculable value.The name with which it is published in 1719 already contains a brief summary of the content, so we could add that it is the adventure of a child, who wishes to go beyond what his parents propose or desire for him. Thus, the protagonist prefers to avoid any sign or manifestation established to follow his wishes regardless of the consequences. Perhaps youth and innocence justify the facts and means of such a reaction, but they also serve the narrator to involve us in his reading.A training novel where a child becomes a man and matures with every blow, especially when it comes to seeing himself on a desert island with nothing but his ingenuity, which he will demonstrate through the practices and causes-effects of Your own evolution. Learn to collect everything that can be edible; to keep the products that he could save from the ship as long as possible; to know the land to reap in the right times; to make your own home over and over again; to prepare your own food and your own tools to perfect them. All following trial-error techniques.Basically it is the adventure of a man who watches over his own interests and to protect himself from storms, famine, disease and any other situation that is out of one's own hands. Daniel Defoe portrays, in an entertaining way, an adventure that is not as far from our reality as we might think at the beginning.As for the narration we can say that it is composed in the form of a newspaper that fades on the island, similar to the loss of the notion of the main character's time, and remains only as a story with a linear structure full of descriptions. A book that falls apart in the hands of the reader.
