This ebook includes both "The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" and the lesser known "The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe."
Widely regarded as the first English novel, Daniel Defoe’s "The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe," normally sold under the shorter title "Robinson Crusoe," is one of the most popular and influential adventure stories of all time. This classic tale of shipwreck and survival on an uninhabited island was an instant success when first published in 1719 and has inspired countless imitations.
In his own words, Robinson Crusoe tells of the terrible storm that drowned all his shipmates and left him marooned on a deserted island. Forced to overcome despair, doubt, and self-pity, he struggles to create a life for himself in the wilderness. From practically nothing, Crusoe painstakingly learns how to make pottery, grow crops, domesticate livestock, and build a house. His many adventures are recounted in vivid detail, including a fierce battle with cannibals and his rescue of Friday, the man who becomes his trusted companion.
Full of enchanting detail and daring heroics, Robinson Crusoe is a celebration of courage, patience, ingenuity, and hard work.
"The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" continued after his return to England where he married and had three children. He settled on a farm in Bedford, but soon expressed the desire to see his island again. When his wife died he decided to make the trip. Crusoe takes various steps to consolidate leadership on the island and assure the civility of the inhabitants
