(Bradbury, Raheb 210) Daniel Defoe (c. 1660 - 1731), was an English writer trader, journalist, and spy. When this story was first published in 1719, Defoe credited authorship to Crusoe in the first edition, leading people to believe he was a real person who was stranded on a desert island

Synopsis

Robinson Crusoe was first published in April 1719, in London. In the beginning, the story was published as an autobiography, but it was later established that the author was Daniel Defoe. The novel became an instant classic, with four editions printed in the first year of publication. Often called the first English novel, it follows the story of Robinson Crusoe, a man marooned on an island. Crusoe’s adventure-packed story of survival started the genre of realistic fiction and inspired a slew of other survival novels. Over the course of its publication history, Robinson Crusoe has become the second-most translated book in the world.
