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 280 years who have given Robinson Crusoe its abiding position as a classic tale of adventure.

Daniel Defoe was most famous novel was published in 1719 with
the full title,The Life and strange and surprising Adventures of
Robinson Crusoe.It is based,in fact,upon the experiences of
Alexander Selkirk who had run away to sea in 1704 and requested
to be left on an uninhabited island to be rescued five years
later.Defoe himself was in his late fifties when he wrote the
book,which is often considered to be the first English
novel.Crusoe ends up on a desert island in the manner of
Selkirk.With only a few supplies from the ship he builds a
house,a boat and a new life.His island is not wholly
uninhabited,though,and there is the exciting but ominous presence
of cannibals who Crusoe occasionally encounters and saves a
native from.The latter becomes his servant,Man Friday.The crew of
a mutinying ship finally rescue our hero,but it is his adventure
on the island that interests us.The story has remained popular
ever since its publication and it spawned two sequels: later in
1719 with The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe and a third
part,The Serious Reflections of Robinson Crusoe,in 1720 which
consisted of moral essays.The first novel,though,is particularly
notable for its detailed verisimilitude allowing us to believe in
the situation-something assisted by the uncomplicated language
used by the author.
