Daniel Defoe's great masterpiece, in a gorgeous new clothbound
edition designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. These
delectable and collectible Penguin editions are bound in
high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the
design 'I walk'd about on the shore, lifting up my hands, and my
whole being, as I may say, wrapt up in the contemplation of my
deliverance ... reflecting upon all my comrades that were drown'd,
and that there should not be one soul sav'd but my self ... ' 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. 'Robinson Crusoe
has a universal appeal, a story that goes right to the core of
existence' Simon Armitage
