About This Item
This is the Daniel Defoe classic, written in 1719, about a castaway who spends 28 years on a remote tropical desert island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before being rescued. The story is likely based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived for four years on the Chilean island Más a Tierra, which was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966.
This copy was also published by Grosset & Dunlap, as part of the Companion Library, dated 1963.
It is 275 pristine pages with several illustrations. It has not been read and is in perfect condition—like new.

Synopsis
Robinson Crusoe was first published in April 1719, in London. In the beginning, the story was published as an autobiography, but it was later established that the author was Daniel Defoe. The novel became an instant classic, with four editions printed in the first year of publication. Often called the first English novel, it follows the story of Robinson Crusoe, a man marooned on an island. Crusoe’s adventure-packed story of survival started the genre of realistic fiction and inspired a slew of other survival novels. Over the course of its publication history, Robinson Crusoe has become the second-most translated book in the world.
