Product Details
- Daniel Defoe's great masterpiece, in a gorgeous new clothbound edition designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. These delectable and collectible Penguin editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design 'I walk'd about on the shore, lifting up my hands, and my whole being, as I may say, wrapt up in the contemplation of my deliverance ... reflecting upon all my comrades that were drown'd, and that there should not be one soul sav'd but my self ... ' Who has not dreamed of life on an exotic isle, far away from civilization? Here is the novel which has inspired countless imitations by lesser writers, none of which equal the power and originality of Defoe's famous book. Robinson Crusoe, set ashore on an island after a terrible storm at sea, is forced to make do with only a knife, some tobacco, and a pipe. He learns how to build a canoe, make bread, and endure endless solitude. That is, until, twenty-four years later, when he confronts another human being. First published in 1719, Robinson Crusoe has been praised by such writers as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Samuel Johnson as one of the greatest novels in the English language. 'Robinson Crusoe has a universal appeal, a story that goes right to the core of existence' Simon Armitage

Classics Editorial Review
The Penguin Clothbound Classics edition of Robinson Crusoe received mixed reviews from readers. While it is Considered a timeless story that holds up for both adults and children, some readers found it too long and challenging to read due to the small print and technical sailing terms used. Others had trouble staying engaged towards the end of the book. However, the majority enjoyed the book and found it to be a delightful read, full of life lessons, and a great yarn told in an old-school way. One reviewer warned against buying this version of the book as the white stuff on the cover flakes off and gets everywhere. Overall, the book is still Considered a classic and worth reading.
