Robinson Crusoe (inbunden, eng)

After a calamitous storm, Robinson Crusoe, a resourceful and tenacious Englishman, is marooned on a remote island with only the supplies he can salvage from the wrecked ship. Over the course of 28 years on the island, he transforms from a desperate survivor into a master of his environment, turning his barren surroundings into a self-sufficient haven.
Through vivid descriptions of the island's flora and fauna, Daniel Defoe paints a striking picture of Crusoe's solitary existence, crafting a timeless adventure that captivates readers with its exploration of human determination and the triumph of the human spirit. The realism and innovative use of journal-like narration in Robinson Crusoe have influenced many great authors, including Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Robert Louis Stevenson.

DANIEL DEFOE [1660-1731] was one of England s most versatile and prolific authors, excelling as a poet, journalist, political writer, travel writer, and essayist on a variety of subjects, including history and economics. He is best known for his novels Robinson Crusoe [1719] and the critically acclaimed Moll Flanders [1722].
