Work detailsThe Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (1719)
 nwdavies | May 8, 2013 |  Fascinating book both for its detailed subject matter and its insight into the mindset and culture of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. (  ) nwdavies | May 8, 2013 | Started out quite interesting - then made the mistake of reading the historical basis for the story before finishing (Selkirk's Island). With the illusion shattered, I couldn't get back to the adventure with any gusto. :( (  ) Pamici | May 5, 2013 | I don't remember reading this book, though it's obvious I have -- the spine is bent, and I'm the only one who's ever owned it. It obviously left no impression on me. It might be something I'd pick up in the future and try again. (  ) shanaqui | Apr 9, 2013 | Robinson Crusoe, a suicidal businessman with sociopathic tendencies, obsessively tries to recreate society when he's shipwrecked. He grows increasingly paranoid; by the time he finally reunites with another human, he's murderously insane. (  ) AlCracka | Apr 2, 2013 |
