Robinson Crusoe

Robinson Crusoe is an adventure book written by Daniel Defoe. It was first published in 1719 and is often considered to be the first successful novel written in the English language.

A young man named Robinson Crusoe sets sail from England. His ship is taken by pirates and he escapes to a remote island in the Atlantic Ocean. He lives on the island for 28 years before his escape back to civilization.

The Life and strange Surprizing 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. Written by Himself

• "Beyond the end of Robinson Crusoe is a new world of fiction. Even though it did not know itself to be a 'novel,' and even though there were books that we might now call 'novels' published before it, Robinson Crusoe has made itself into a prototype... Perhaps because of all the novels that we have read... the novelty of Defoe's fiction is the more striking when we return to it. Here it is, at the beginning of things, with its final word reaching out into the future." John Mullan
