~ Trade Paperback Daniel Defoe relates the tale of an English sailor marooned on a desert island for nearly three decades. An ordinary man struggling to survive in extraordinary ci rcumstances, Robinson Crusoe wrestles with fate and the nature of God. Despite its simple narrative style, Robinson Crusoe was well received in the literary world and is often credited as marking the beginning of realistic fiction as a literary genre. Although inspiration for the story came from real-life castaway Alexander Selkirk, the novel is easily enjoyed as a tale of survival, of spiritual awakening, or as a mythic quest. Show more
