Originally named Juan Fernandez, the island of Robinson Crusoe in
the South Pacific was the inspiration for Defoe's classic novel
about the adventures of a shipwrecked sailor. Yet the complex story
of Britain's relationship with this distant, tiny island is more
surprising, more colourful and considerably darker. Drawing on
voyage accounts, journal entries, maps and illustrations, acclaimed
historian Andrew Lambert brings to life the voices of the visiting
sailors, scientists, writers and artists, from the early encounters
of the 1500s and the perilous journeys of the eighteenth-century
explorers, to the naval conflicts of the First World War and the
environmental concerns of more recent years. Crusoe's Island
explores why we are still not willing to give up on the specks of
land at the far ends of the earth.
