Synopsis "The Robinson Crusoe Trilogy: Together with the Adventures of the Real Robinson Crusoe, Alexander Selkirk 4 Books in One Special Edition (in English)"

The iconic Robinson Crusoe and the real life events that inspired his story Almost everyone has heard of the story of Robinson Crusoe and his man Friday, whether they have actually read Defoe's book or not. Crusoe has been the subject of numerous films, television series and dramatisations. People might not, however, be aware that as a result of the success of the original book, Crusoe's fictional life and adventures became a trilogy. All three books appear in this unique Leonaur edition and readers can expect a gratifying helping of dark deeds at sea, marooning, fights for survival, battles with cannibals and many other exciting escapades. The final Defoe text has been carefully edited by Leonaur to remove ligatures and other archaic characters to make the it more readable and enjoyable for modern readers. Many who know of Crusoe's fictional adventures are aware that they were based on the real-life experiences of Alexander Selkirk. There have been several versions of his story published, but we have chosen the one we believe is the fullest and most accurate to include here to give readers an understanding of the reality that inspired Robinson Crusoe's fame. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Daniel Defoe (Londres, 1660-1731) fue novelista, periodista, poeta e historiador; su vida transcurrió por oscuros vericuetos: viajes, empleos diversos, amistades políticas y misiones secretas. En su obra cultivó distintos géneros, como la sátira: El verdadero inglés de Inglaterra (1701), El medio más rápido para acabar con los disidentes (1702) y Augusta Triumphants o Cómo hacer de Londres la ciudad más floreciente del mundo (1728); la novela realista: La aventuras de Moll Flanders (1722), Diario del año de la peste (1722) y Roxana o la amante afortunada(1724), y el ensayo económico-político: Consideraciones sobre el crédito público (1724), El perfecto comerciante inglés (1726) y Plan del comercio inglés (1728). Con todo, su obra más conocida es sin duda Robinson Crusoe (1719).
