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.Despite its simple narrative style, Robinson Crusoe was well received in the literary world and is often credited as marking the beginning of realistic fiction as a literary genre. It is generally seen as a contender for the first English novel. Before the end of 1719, the book had already run through four editions, and it has gone on to become one of the most widely published books in history, spawning so many imitations, not only in literature but also in film, television and radio, that its name is used to define a genre, the Robinsonade.

Aventures de Robinson Crusoe

Roxana

I was born in the year 1632, in the city of York, of a good family, though not of that country, my father being a foreigner of Bremen, who settled first at Hull. He got a good estate by merchandise, and leaving off his trade, lived afterwards at York, from whence he had married my mother, whose relations were named Robinson, a very good family in that country, and from whom I was called Robinson Kreutznaer; but, by the usual corruption of words in England, we are now called-nay we call ourselves and write our name-Crusoe; and so my companions always called me.

The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe

Part of the outstanding biographical series - edited by Richard Holmes - that recovers the great classical tradition of English biography. Every book is a biographical masterpiece, still thrilling to read and vividly alive.

 In this pioneering series, Richard Holmes, the world's leading Romantic biographer, sets out to recover the great forgotten tradition of English biographical writing. 'I have had no time for dusty tomes, ' writes Holmes, 'I have looked for brevity, intelligence and style. Above all, I have sought out great biographical writers: biographers with passion, biographers who have found a way to the heart and soul of a memorable subject.'

 Jack Sheppard was an 18th-century Houdini - a handsome young escape artist who broke out of his cell on Newgate's grim Death Row three times. Jonathan Wild was the infamous Thief-Taker General who helped to recapture him and many other criminals, only to be tried and executed himself for racketeering, among scenes of mayhem at Tyburn.

 Daniel Defoe, the master of adventure fiction, was fascinated by 'True Confessions' and the workings of the criminal personality (including its daring, its stoicism and its humour). He was the first to retell these stories, based on personal interviews in Newgate, which also include a thrilling (sometimes hour by hour) reconstruction of events.

Der Klassiker der Seuchenliteratur in neuer Übersetzung.

In den Jahren 1665 und 1666 erlebte das südliche England eine der letzten großen Pestepidemien Europas. Allein in London forderte diese rund 70.000 Todesopfer, was etwa einem Fünftel der Stadtbevölkerung entsprach.

Daniel Defoe, der bekannte Autor des "Robinson Crusoe", war zur Zeit des Seuchenausbruchs gerade einmal fünf Jahre alt, wurde jedoch anlässlich der im Jahre 1720 in Marseille grassierenden Pest dazu bewegt, ein Werk über die Große Pest von London zu verfassen. Um eine realistisch wirkende Chronik der Ereignisse zu erstellen, stützte er sich dabei nicht nur auf bloße Zahlen, sondern griff die Erinnerungen Überlebender auf, und setzte außerdem einen fiktiven Ich-Erzähler ein: einen Londoner Kaufmann, der während des gesamten Pestlaufs in London verweilte.

Ungekürzte Ausgabe.

Robinson Crusoé

The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (of York, Mariner Who lived Eight and Twenty Years all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, where in all the Men perished but Himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver'd by Pyrates) is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published in 1719 and sometimes regarded as the first novel in English. The book is a fictional autobiography of the title character, an English castaway who spends 28 years on a remote tropical island near Venezuela, encountering Native Americans, captives, and mutineers before being rescued. This device, presenting an account of supposedly factual events, is known as a "false document" and gives a realistic frame story.

Robinson Crusoe

Un grand classique adapté pour les jeunes lecteurs et magnifiquement illustré."Un jour, vers midi, je me rendais auprès de mon bateau lorsque je vis, très surpris, l'empreinte d'un pied d'homme sur le sable. Je restai immobile, comme si la foudre m'avait foudroyé sur place ou que j'avais croisé un fantôme."
