Daniel Defoe
Robinson Crusoe
EDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY
ANGUS ROSS
Robinson Crusoe is first and foremost an exotic, exciting
adventure story.
With its fast-moving narrative and resourceful, sympathetic
hero, it is a book of almost universal appeal. But this
apparently artless tale also embodies a vast and complex
economic doctrine which Karl Marx, amongst many others,
has thought worthy of serious scrutiny. It is, moreover, a
work of considerable moral and religious significance; a fine
tension is set up between God's purpose and Crusoe's very
human impulses, which Defoe expresses with superbly
vibrant, haunting realism.
, Published in 1719, towards the end of Daniel Defoe's
distinguished career as a man of letters, Robinson Crusoe
can be regarded as one of the first English novels. It is the
product of a powerful imagination: vivid, exhilarating
and profound.
