    About this audiobook

    When his ship is wrecked in a storm, Robinson Crusoe finds himself stranded on a desert island with no one to help him and no chance of rescue. Scared and alone, he tries to make a life for himself: building shelters, hunting food, taming animals, crafting boats and making clothes. But just as his life appears to be settled, he sees someone else's footprint on the beach and a different struggle for survival begins, this time against cannibals and pirates.

    Daniel Defoe

    Daniel Defoe (1660-1731), son of a London butcher, James Foe, took the pen name Defoe in 1703, the year he was pilloried and jailed for publishing a notorious attack on the religious hypocrisy and intolerance of the English political class. His imprisonment ruined his lucrative trade as a merchant but made him a popular figure with the public. Freed by the intervention of rising statesman Robert Harley, Defoe became a renowned journalist, but also a government spy. Robinson Crusoe, his first work of fiction, was published in his sixtieth year, but was soon followed by other lasting novels, including The Life and Adventures of Mr Duncan Campbell, Moll Flanders, A Journal of the Plague Year and Roxana.

    • 4/5
      It takes 4 mins to finish one page so I had to set the audiobook into 1.5 speed.
    • 3/5
      It was an interesting book, and I'm glad that I listened. If it had not been a classic, however, I probably would have abandoned it.
    • 5/5
      A perfectly delightful story. Full of adventure and completely engaging.
    • 5/5
      I loved the amazing transformation of Robinson Crusoe throughout this book and how he was humbled and brought to a realization that life would not be here without God. I would encourage you to definitely consider reading this. It was a wonderful book!
    • 3/5
      I enjoyed the book up until he meets Friday. From then on, his arrogance is difficult to take.
