By: Daniel DEFOE (c.1660 - 1731)
Daniel Defoe’s The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York, Mariner (1719) is considered by many the first English novel. Based on the real-life experiences of the castaway Alexander Selkirk, the book has had a perrenial appeal among readers of all ages-–especially the young adult reading public–-who continue to find inspiration in the inventive resourcefulness of its hero, sole survivor of a shipwreck who is marooned on an uninhabited island.
Especially poignant, after more than two decades of unbroken
solitude, is the affection that Robinson develops for Friday, another
survivor fleeing certain death at the hands of enemy tribesmen from the
South American continent. (Summary by Denny Sayers)
