on a deserted island is perhaps the greatest adventure in all of English
literature. Fleeing from pirates, Robinson Crusoe has swept ashore in a storm
possessing only a knife, a box of tobacco, a pipe-and the will to survive. His
is the saga of a man alone: a man who overcomes self-pity and despair to
reconstruct his life; who painstakingly teaches himself how to fashion a pot,
bake bread, build a canoe; and who, after twenty-four agonizing years of
solitude, discovers a human footprint in the sand... Consistently popular since
its first publication in 1719, Daniel Defoe^s story of human endurance in an
exotic, faraway land exerts a timeless appeal. The first important English
novel, "Robinson Crusoe" has taken its rightful place among the great
myths of Western civilization.</span></p>
