«Robinson Crusoe» is the adventure novel by Daniel Defoe, published by Plutón Ediciones in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
An English sailor is left alone on an uninhabited island after a shipwreck, off the coast of America, near the Orinoco. There he spends twenty-eight years managing to survive with meagre means. Inspired by the real abandonment of the Scotsman Alexander Selkirk, the novel inaugurated the survival genre.
It is the first volume of the Robinson Crusoe series. The original work was published in 1719. This Spanish edition, translated by Benjamin Briggent, belongs to the Eterna Collection.
For readers of English literature classics and survival stories.
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.
