Robinson Crusoe

Set against the backdrop of colonial attitudes, this edition of the classic adventure story features new illustrations and an introduction by Jamaica Kincaid, which frames the narrative for contemporary readers. Originally published in 1719, it captivated audiences who mistook it for a true travelogue. The tale follows a castaway's thirty-year survival on a tropical island, where he confronts cannibals and mutineers. This edition encourages a reevaluation of the themes of colonization and representation that resonate in today's global context.
