Publisher's Summary:

Michael Maloney reads Daniel Defoe's timeless tale of a man who has to use all his own skills to survive alone on an island. Robinson Crusoe has a great desire to see the world and, against his father's wishes, goes to sea. After surviving a terrible shipwreck, however, Robinson Crusoe discovers he is the only person on a deserted island, far from any shipping routes or rescue. Using tools salvaged from the ship and with only the ship's dog and cats for company, Crusoe builds a dwelling and a search reveals a plentiful supply of food. For nearly twenty-three years he lives without any human company - until one Friday, when he discovers he is not alone... The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe is a classic tale of adventure and survival.

Members Reviews:

The book I received is not the one advertised and not the one in this illustration.

The book I received should not have been listed under this label - what I received was another edition called 'Junior Classics'. It has another cover and contains some rather crude illustrations, not those of Mr. Wyeth as advertised. I suppose I really should have returned the book because it certainly was not what I thought I was ordering. I do think this was due to someone's mistake rather than a deliberate deception - as long as the text was an unabridged version, it would same the same purpose I had in mind. But I wish Amazon would be more careful about listing various versions together when there are significant differences between them.

Inventive Survival

As a classic adventure story, this one is pretty good. Robinson Crusoe was an ingenious survivor and a most industrious fellow, driven by his Christian ethics. I think the the religion bit was carried too far and soon skipped pages whereupon he went on and on, but it is true to western principles of that era. Once he arrived back in England, the story could have been shortened, but no. Robinson Crusoe had further adventures. These could be shortened and, indeed, they are as the repetitions drag on. I'd recommend this book despite its old style of writing. Especially I recommend it for young people. You never know when survival techniques will become one's own best tools.

Well...

I did enjoy the book, I read it for an AP Lit assignment, the only thing I wasn't too keen on was the missing pages, it would completely skip sections with only a note saying that the transciber couldn't find that page, it was very annoying and left a few very awkward gaps in the story.

A very difficult life and great insight to the slave trade

Way different than the childhood versions. A very difficult life and great insight to the slave trade.

but so glad I did

I couldn't believe it was so hard to find this book in its complete form, but so glad I did.
