Robinson Crusoe (Townsend Library Edition)

Robinson Crusoe could have had a comfortable life in his native England.

But the call of the sea and his hunger for adventure were too strong. As the sole survivor of a tragic shipwreck, he ends up a lonely castaway on a deserted island. After years of praying for human company, his prayers are answered—by the arrival of a group of cannibals.

Crusoe's story is the classic tale of a man coming to terms with nature and his own rebellious spirit.

Note: This Townsend Library classic has been carefully edited to be more accessible to today's students. It includes a brief author's biography and an afterword that provides important context about the work.
