1872 ROBINSON CRUSOE 1ed Life & Adventures Daniel Defoe Illustrated Survival
“Robinson Crusoe” by Daniel Defoe is a pioneering work of realistic fiction, portraying the 28-year survival story of its title character on a remote tropical island. Crusoe, rejecting a traditional law career, faces shipwreck, enslavement, and encounters with cannibals during his adventures. With resources from a wrecked ship and his ingenuity, Crusoe establishes a self-sufficient life, even befriending a native he names Friday. After aiding a ship captain to overthrow mutineers, Crusoe finally returns to England, wealthy from his plantation in Brazil. Inspired by the real-life Alexander Selkirk, the narrative has profoundly impacted literature, spawning its own genre, the Robinsonade.
This scarce first edition published by the Hubbard Brothers 1872, is enhanced by a myriad of black and while illustrations found throughout the book.
