Robinson Crusoe (Centaur Classics) [The 100 greatest novels of all time - #37]

"Among the few English novels which we can call indisputably great." â€”Virginia Woolf
"Crusoe himself is a representative of humanity in general; neither his intellectual nor his moral qualities set him above the middle degree of mankind; his only prominent characteristic is the spirit of enterprise of wandering, which is, nevertheless, a very common disposition. You will observe that all that is wonderful in this tale is the result of external circumstances â€” of things which fortune brings to Crusoeâ€™s hand." â€”Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"The whole Anglo-Saxon spirit is in Crusoe: the manly independence; the unconscious cruelty; the persistence; the slow yet efficient intelligence; the sexual apathy; the practical, well-balanced religiousness; the calculating taciturnity." â€”James Joyce
â€œ'Robinson Crusoe' is the one book that teaches all that books can teach." â€”Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Fleeing from pirates, Robinson Crusoe is swept ashore in a storm possessing only a knife, a box of tobacco, a pipe-and the will to survive. His is the saga of a man alone: a man who overcomes self-pity and despair to reconstruct his life; who painstakingly teaches himself how to fashion a pot, bake bread, build a canoe; and who, after twenty-four agonizing years of solitude, discovers a human footprint in the sand... Consistently popular since its first publication in 1719, Daniel Defoeâ€™s story of human endurance in an exotic, faraway land exerts a timeless appeal. The first important English novel, â€œRobinson Crusoeâ€ has taken its rightful place among the great myths of Western civilization.
