Reseña del editor:

It happened one day, about noon, going towards my boat, I was exceedingly surprised with the print of a mans naked foot on the shore... Thus Defoe describes the heart-stopping moment when after years of solitude the worlds most famous shipwrecked mariner discovers that he is not totally alone on his island. From its publication in 1719, and through many translations, Robinson Crusoe has been hailed as the classic adventure story. Although the inspiration came from a real-life castaway called Alexander Selkirk, the novel can be enjoyed as a tale of survival, of spiritual awakening, or as a mythic quest.

Biografía del autor:

Daniel Defoe (ca. 1659-1661 – 24 April 1731), born Daniel Foe, was an English writer, journalist, and pamphleteer, who gained fame for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to popularise the form in Britain and is among the founders of the English novel. A prolific and versatile writer, he wrote more than 500 books, pamphlets and journals on various topics (including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology and the supernatural). He was also a pioneer of economic journalism.
