Taylor Publication date 25 April 1719 Followed by The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe Robinson Crusoe /ˌrɒbɪnsən ˈkruːsoʊ/ is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published on 25 April 1719. The first edition credited the work's protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author, leading many readers to believe he was a real person and the book a travelogue of true incidents.[2] It was published under the full title The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver'd by Pyrates. Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is presented as an autobiography of the title character (whose birth name is Robinson Kreutznaer)—a castaway who spends thirty years on a remote tropical island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued. The story has since been perceived to be based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived for four years on a Pacific island called "Más a Tierra", now part of Chile, which was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966,[3] but various literary sources have also been suggested. Despite its simple narrative style, Robinson Crusoe was well received in the literary world and is often credited as marking the beginning of realistic fiction as a literary genre. Before the end of 1719, the book had already run through four editions, and it has gone on to become one of the most widely published books in history, spawning numerous sequels and adaptations for stage, film, and television. 00:00:00 ➤ Chapter 1 - Start In Life 00:31:15 ➤ Chapter 2 - Slavery And Escape 00:59:59 ➤ Chapter 3 - Wrecked On A Desert Island 01:43:08 ➤ Chapter 4 - First Weeks On The Island 02:33:34 ➤ Chapter 5 - Builds A House - The Journal 03:04:46 ➤ Chapter 6 - Ill And Conscience-Stricken 03:37:43 ➤ Chapter 7 - Agricultural Experience 03:59:11 ➤ Chapter 8 - Surveys His Position 04:23:42 ➤ Chapter 9 - A Boat 05:02:28 ➤ Chapter 10 - Tames Goats 05:29:44 ➤ Chapter 11 - Finds Print Of Man's Foot On The Sand 06:01:33 ➤ Chapter 12 - A Cave Retreat 06:42:25 ➤ Chapter 13 - Wreck Of A Spanish Ship 07:13:50 ➤ Chapter 14 - A Dream Realised 07:52:10 ➤ Chapter 15 - Friday's Education 08:28:25 ➤ Chapter 16 - Rescue Of Prisoners From Cannibals 09:07:14 ➤ Chapter 17 - Visit Of Mutineers 09:43:23 ➤ Chapter 18 - The Ship Recovered 10:21:27 ➤ Chapter 19 - Return To England 10:56:01 ➤ Chapter 20 - Fight Between Friday And A Bear #englishaudiobooks #audiobook #audiobooks #summerreading English Audio Books - channel with best free full audio books online
