Robinson Crusoe

Almost 300 years ago this fascinating novel was published
with probably the most long title: The Life and Strange Surprizing
Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner: Who Lived Eight
and Twenty Years, All Alone in an Un-inhabited Island on the Coast
of America, Near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having
Been Cast on Shore by Shipwreck, Wherein All the Men Perished but
Himself. With an Account how he was at last as Strangely Deliver’d
by Pyrates. Written by Himself.
For hundreds of years this book impresses the imagination by
displaying of courage, ingenuity, vitality of the person, caught in
such a binding that it is difficult to imagine. But still it is so exciting
to imagine, while reading a book in a cozy room.
