Summary: The Life and Strange, Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York, Mariner, is the unnecessarily long title that is given to this old classic. Robinson Crusoe, as we know it, needs no introduction, it is far too well known and loved. The story, slightly shortened from the original, is acclaimed as 'by far the greatest work Defoe ever produced. his great genius burnt at its brightest on Robinson Crusoe's lonely island, and there it burns for ever.' The story of the lonely castaway on the uninhabited island, and his Man Friday's imprint on the sand, is one of the most romantic and convincing stories in the world.
