Publisher Description
Who has not dreamed of life on an exotic isle, far away from civilization? Here is the novel which has inspired countless imitations by lesser writers, none of which equal the power and originality of Defoe's famous book. Robinson Crusoe, set ashore on an island after a terrible storm at sea, is forced to make do with only a knife, some tobacco, and a pipe. He learns how to build a canoe, make bread, and endure endless solitude. That is, until, twenty-four years later, when he confronts another human being. First published in 1719, Robinson Crusoe has been praised by such writers as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Samuel Johnson as one of the greatest novels in the English language.

Adventures of Robinson Cruzoe
Surprisingly this old classic adventure book is not just about adventures of a castaway’s but also about his deep spiritual contemplations and transformations which I think were very bold and progressive at the time. Very nice lecture. I highly recommend it!
