Dive in to the ultimate tale of shipwreck and survival in this
illustrated, finely crafted keepsake edition of the classic adventure
story that has thrilled readers for nearly three centuries.
After a fierce storm at sea, Robinson Crusoe is marooned on an uncharted
island, with only a few bits of his wrecked ship's flotsam and jetsam to
sustain him. For more than two decades, he faces the wrath of nature and
the struggle to stay alive with little more than his wits to save him.
Then, following an encounter with cannibals, a tribesman named Friday
becomes Crusoe's only ally. As their relationship develops, the line
between servant and friend begins to blur, and the possibility of
freedom for them both at last looms on the horizon.
This collectible edition of a beloved adventure includes a soft-touch
cover, gold foiling, and luminous illustrations from N.C. Wyeth, whose
oil paintings perfectly depict the roiling seas, baking sun, and vast
expanse of open space.
