Description
Robinson Crusoe Book Description: Young Robinson Crusoe's years-long struggle for survival, stranded on a deserted island, can be seen as a brief summary of class, religion and colonial history. When journalist Daniel Defoe's book was published 300 years ago, it was considered the harbinger of a brand new genre in literature. Considered one of the first examples of the world novel, Robinson Crusoe is still among the most read classics today. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
