A young man goes to sea against his father's advice, survives storms, slavery and a shipwreck, and finds himself alone on an island where the only proof another human exists is a single footprint. Defoe was fifty-nine when he published it, had been pilloried and imprisoned for his pamphlets, and wrote it as a true account by the man himself — most of his first readers believed it.

In Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe tells the unforgettable story of a young man's extraordinary journey from adventure and exploration to isolation and survival. After a series of voyages and misfortunes, Robinson Crusoe finds himself shipwrecked on a deserted island.

A young man goes to sea against his father's advice, survives storms, slavery and shipwreck, and finds himself alone on an island with a knife, a musket and twenty-eight years to fill. The inventories, the calendar cut into a post, the footprint: Defoe built the survival story in one attempt and no one has improved the frame. Here with paintings of tropical shore, storm and improvised shelter, and Gilded Library ornament of ship's wheel, skin parasol and a print in the sand.

Shipwrecked alone on a desert island for nearly three decades, Robinson Crusoe has nothing but grit, ingenuity, and a battered Bible to survive — until a single footprint in the sand changes everything. Daniel Defoe's 1719 castaway tale is often called the first true English novel, and it's easy to see why: it's still a gripping, page-by-page account of what it takes to build a life from nothing. The original survival story, and the ancestor of every desert-island tale that followed.

Crusoe, old and rich and unable to sit still, goes back to his island — then on to Madagascar, India, China and overland across Siberia to Archangel. Defoe published the first book at fifty-nine and this sequel four months later; it sold, it was read for a century as the other half of the story, and it is where the castaway turns into something much less comfortable: a trader, a passenger, an old man who cannot stop moving.
