Defoe Daniel Robinson Crusoe
Полный, неадаптированный текст произведения. From its first publication in 1719, Robinson Crusoe has been printed in over 700 editions. It has inspired almost every conceivable kind of imitation and variation, and been the subject of plays, opera, cartoons, and computer games. The character of Crusoe has entered the consciousness of each succeeding generation as readers add their own interpretation to the adventures so thrillingly ‘recorded’ by Defoe. Praised by eminent figures such as Coleridge, Rousseau and Wordsworth, this perennially popular book was cited by Karl Marx in Das Kapital to illustrate economic theory. However it is readers of all ages over the last three centuries who have given Robinson Crusoe its abiding position as a classic tale of adventure.

Defoe Daniel Robinson Crusoe
Издание полностью на английском языке. Полный, неадаптированный текст произведения. The sole survivor of a shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe is washed up on a desert island. In his journal he chronicles his daily battle to stay alive, as he conquers isolation, fashions shelter and clothes, first encounters another human being and fights off cannibals and mutineers. With Robinson Crusoe, Defoe wrote what is regarded as the first English novel, and created one of the most popular and enduring myths in literature. Written in an age of exploration and enterprise, it has been variously interpreted as an embodiment of British imperialist values, as a portrayal of "natural man", or as a moral fable. But above all it is a brilliant narrative, depicting Crusoe's transformation from terrified survivor to self-sufficient master of his island.

Defoe Daniel Robinson Crusoe
Published in 1718, The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York, Mariner is sometimes cited as the first English language novel. The work presents itself as the autobiographical account of a man who endures decades as a castaway on a remote island off Venezuela. In creating Crusoe, it is thought that Daniel Defoe took as his model Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor who in the early 18th century had spent four years marooned on a Pacific island. Defoe's life was, if anything, even more adventurous. He is believed to have been bom in London, circa 1660. As a young man, Defoe ran a mercantile business, before debt nearly landed him in prison. Other legal issues followed, brought on by his participation in the ill-fated 1685 attempt to overthrow James II. Twelve years later, Defoe began writing political pamphlets, an activity that led to his imprisonment. He was released after agreeing to work as a government pamphleteer and spy. Though his pamphlets were influential in their day, he is best remembered as the author of A Journal of the Plague Year (1722), and for the novels Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders (1722). These later works brought considerable wealth. For a time Defoe lived in comfort, before falling into debt. With creditors in pursuit, he went into hiding and died in April of 1731. George Cruikshank (1792-1878) is considered the preeminent English caricaturist and book illustrator of the 19th century. His illustrations for Robinson Crusoe were first published in an 1831 edition published by Shakespeare Press.

Defoe Daniel Robinson Crusoe
"It happened one day, about noon, going towards my boat, I was exceedingly surprised with the print of a man's naked foot on the shore..." Thus Defoe describes the heart-stopping moment when - after years of solitude - the world's most famous shipwrecked mariner discovers that he is not totally alone on his island. From its publication in 1719, and through many translations, Robinson Crusoe has been hailed as the classic adventure story. Although the inspiration came from a real-life castaway called Alexander Selkirk, the novel can be enjoyed as a tale of survival, of spiritual awakening, or as a mythic quest.
