This classic tale of shipwreck and survival on an uninhabited island was an instant success when first published in 1719 and has inspired countless imitations. &&LP&&RIn his own words, Robinson Crusoe tells of the terrible storm that drowned all his shipmates and left him marooned on a deserted island. Forced to overcome despair, doubt, and self-pity, he struggles to create a life for himself in the wilderness. From practically nothing, Crusoe painstakingly learns how to make pottery, grow crops, domesticate livestock, and build a house. His many adventures are recounted in vivid detail, including a fierce battle with cannibals and his rescue of Friday, the man who becomes his trusted companion. &&LP&&RFull of enchanting detail and daring heroics, &&LI&&RRobinson Crusoe&&L/I&&R is a celebration of courage, patience, ingenuity, and hard work.&&L/P&&R&&LP&&R&&LB&&RL.

Written with more modern English and yet kept the flavor of the original many years ago. A great book to have around the house for kids and grandkids...plus a good read for us grown-ups. Review: Inventive Survival - As a classic adventure story, this one is pretty good. Robinson Crusoe was an ingenious survivor and a most industrious fellow, driven by his Christian ethics. I think the the religion bit was carried too far and soon skipped pages whereupon he went on and on, but it is true to western principles of that era. Once he arrived back in England, the story could have been shortened, but no. Robinson Crusoe had further adventures. These could be shortened and, indeed, they are as the repetitions drag on. I'd recommend this book despite its old style of writing. Especially I recommend it for young people. You never know when survival techniques will become one's own best tools. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,583,404 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,392 in Teen & Young Adult Classic Literature #8,095 in Teen & Young Adult Action & Adventure #31,215 in Classic Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 86 Reviews | ## Images ![Robinson Crusoe (Barnes & Noble Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wv1zyUKJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic for Grandkids *by B***L on June 6, 2013* It was more than I expected.

Published 290 years ago and loosely based on the experiences of an English castaway rescued 300 years ago, The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe has become a part of our culture, universally known by educated English speakers though rarely read outside of a high school or college literature class. And a rare high school it would be that assigned it. The style is foreign to moderns, and many of the attitudes repugnant. But, if you have any multicultural inclinations, you must acknowledge that Defoe's culture is no less legitimate than our own. Not particularly entertaining for moderns, Robinson Crusoe reveals much about the culture that nurtured John Locke and created the British Empire and the (often ignored) traditions of liberty, equality, and rule of law that led to modern America with its power, flaws, and ability to inspire all peoples. People will be reading this book long after Clancy and Ludlum are forgotten and dropped from the library shelves. It will be read not for entertainment but to learn about a culture. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/61570029-robinson-crusoe-barnes-and-noble-classics](https://www.desertcart.co/products/61570029-robinson-crusoe-barnes-and-noble-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
