About this ebook

 Almost 300 years ago this fascinating novel was published with probably the most long 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. Written by Himself. For hundreds of years this book impresses the imagination by displaying of courage, ingenuity, vitality of the person, caught in such a binding that it is difficult to imagine. But still it is so exciting to imagine, while reading a book in a cozy room. Pretty illustrations by Vladislav Kolomoets provide you with new impressions from reading this legendary story.

Ratings and reviews

Daniel Defoe - Robinson Crusoe (Illustrated) (1719) 1-star rating is for this particular book, not the novel itself. Downloaded from the Google Play Store when it was offered free. The entire book was there initially, but after reading about 1/3 of the book, it became labeled as a "sample" in my Google Play Books library with an option to buy. It said that I had reached the end of the sample, yet I had read a couple dozen pages past that point. Pretty frustrating. (Notes: Errors in the text possibly due to OCR - apostrophes are inverted/backwards & instead of quotation marks, double angle brackets (greater than/less than signs) are used, so open quotes are << & closing quotes are >>.)
