It would be hard to find a reader who has not known – mostly in adaptations or retellings – the core of this classic work of English literature since childhood. And how many variou s Robinsonades have been inspired over the centuries by Defoe's colorful depiction, which was created in 1719. The story of "the strange and wonderful adventures of a sailor from York" transcends its era: we read it as an immortal tale of human courage, resilience, and curiosity. Robinson Crusoe was first translated into Czech as early as 1797, but a reliable translation did not appear until a century later, with newer versions coming out in 1920 and 1933. Czech readers now have a new modern translation by Martin Pokorný in their hands. Show more
