Daniel Defoe 
Robinson Crusoe [EPUB ebook] 
Book 1 & 2 (The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe & The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe)

Stöd

In the pioneering novel ’Robinson Crusoe, ’ Daniel Defoe crafts a compelling narrative of survival, isolation, and self-discovery. The story follows the life of Crusoe, a shipwrecked sailor stranded on a deserted island, as he navigates the trials of survival while grappling with existential questions about civilization, freedom, and man’s relationship with nature. Defoe’s prose is characterized by a realistic style, employing vivid descriptions and an earnest voice that resonates with the reader, placing it firmly within the context of early 18th-century literature that explores themes of adventure and colonialism. Daniel Defoe was influenced by his own tumultuous experiences as a merchant and a political pamphleteer, which fostered in him a keen awareness of human resilience and autonomy. His diverse background, including his encounters with economic hardship and political strife, enabled him to infuse ’Robinson Crusoe’ with deeper philosophical insights regarding self-sufficiency, individualism, and the complexities of societal norms. Defoe’s multifaceted life is reflected in Crusoe’s journey, making the novel not just a tale of survival but a profound commentary on the human condition. I highly recommend ’Robinson Crusoe’ to readers who are seeking a blend of adventure and philosophical exploration. This timeless work not only engages the imagination with its vivid storytelling but also invites reflection on the human spirit’s capacity to endure and adapt. Whether you are a scholar of literature or a casual reader, Defoe’s masterpiece remains an essential exploration of resilience and identity.

Om författaren

Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) stands as an eminent figure in the history of British literature, renowned for his contribution to the English novel and his prowess as a journalist and pamphleteer. Defoe’s life, marked by a series of diverse business ventures and periods of severe debt, provided him with a breadth of experiences that he skillfully translated into his writing. Notable for his enduring work, ’Robinson Crusoe’ (1719), Defoe pioneered the narrative of realism and survival against the odds, aspects that would influence the novelistic tradition for centuries. His narrative style often contained elements of his staunch Puritan beliefs and the tumultuous socio-political context of his era. Although ’Robinson Crusoe’ is commonly misperceived as solely a children’s adventure story, it is a complex tale of self-reliance, human endurance, and the exploration of the unknown, replete with religious and moral undertones. Defoe’s literary technique, marked by its detail-oriented descriptions and journalistic precision, stemmed from his profound understanding of the human psyche and society at large. This classical piece not only brought him fame but also solidified his position as a literary craftsman. His other significant works include ’Moll Flanders’ and ’A Journal of the Plague Year, ’ which further attest to his narrative dexterity and versatility in exploring various themes of human experience.
