Robinson Crusoe

Set against the backdrop of a remote tropical island, the story follows a castaway's thirty-year survival journey filled with encounters with cannibals and mutineers. This Three-Hundredth Anniversary Edition features new illustrations and an introduction by Jamaica Kincaid, which places the narrative within a postcolonial context and critiques colonial attitudes. Originally published in 1719, it remains a seminal work in English literature, influencing the adventure genre and colonial representation.
