Summary
When ROBINSON CRUSOE was first published in 1719, it was such an immediate success that a second printing was called for three weeks later. Defoe took the true story of a sailor, Alexander Selkirk, who was castaway on an island in 1703, and skillfully embroidered the truth with a wealth of imaginative detail. In addition to providing ageless entertainment, ROBINSON CRUSOE contains a message of self-reliance that is probably more needed today than when it was first written
