«Robinson Crusoe» is the adventure novel by Daniel Defoe, published by Anaya in paperback (336 pages, in Spanish).
Robinson Crusoe is shipwrecked on a desert island and, thanks to his tenacity and ingenuity, manages to build a shelter, sow crops and prosper in solitude. His encounter with a «good savage» whom he evangelizes and his drive to explore and subdue the island make him the prototype of the English colonizer.
Edition from the Tus Libros collection (no. 22), with an appendix by Emilio Pascual and illustrations by J. J. Grandville. It is the first installment of the Robinson Crusoe series.
It is a classic present in school reading lists and a gateway to the adventure novel for young readers.
Daniel Defoe was an English writer, journalist, merchant and spy. He is famous for his novels Robinson Crusoe (1719), Moll Flanders (1722) and Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress (1724). He has been seen as one of the earliest proponents of the English novel, and helped to popularise the form in Britain with others such as Aphra Behn and Samuel Richardson.
