Penguin Classics relaunch.

With Robinson Crusoe, Defoe wrote what is regarded as the first English novel, and created one of the most popular and enduring myths in literature. Written in an age of exploration and enterprise, it has been variously interpreted as an embodiment of British imperialist values, as a portrayal of 'natural man', or as a moral fable. But above all it is a brilliant narrative, depicting Crusoe's transformation from terrified survivor to self-sufficient master of an island.

Product description

Review

"Beyond the end of Robinson Crusoe is a new world of fiction. Even though it did not know itself to be a 'novel, ' and even though there were books that we might now call 'novels' published before it, Robinson Crusoe has made itself into a prototype . . . Perhaps because of all the novels that we have read . . . the novelty of Defoe's fiction is the more striking when we return to it. Here it is, at the beginning of things, with its final word reaching out into the future." -from the Introduction by John Mullan

It seemed like the writing was emotionless.

Considering the time it was written, I was expecting richer language.

Short and sweet.

1.0 out of 5 stars Badly translated text!
Reviewed in Australia on 5 April 2020

I don’t know how this book can be badly translated (seeing as it was written in English to begin with) but it gives the impression it has been translated from English, to Swahili back to English. One paragraph in and nothing was making sense. Want my money back.
“ I was born within the yr 1632, inside the metropolis of York, of a good family, even though not of that u . S ., my father being a foreigner of Bremen, who settled first at Hull.  He got an amazing property via products, and leaving off his trade, lived afterwards at York, from whence he had married my mother, whose relations have been named Robinson, a excellent circle of relatives in that country, and from whom I changed into referred to as Robinson Kreutznaer; but, via the usual corruption of phrases in England, we are now called—nay we name ourselves and write our call—Crusoe; and so my companions usually known as me.”

Text was garbled and very verbose. Reads like a very poor translation from a foreign language.
