Robinson Crusoe started as a single novel in 1719 and became one of the most widely read books in the English language. The story of a castaway who spends decades alone on a tropical island struck a chord with readers and never really lost its popularity. Defoe followed it up with two sequels, but neither matched the first book’s success.
The original novel draws loosely on the real experiences of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor marooned on an island off Chile for four years. Defoe turned that kernel into a much longer tale about resourcefulness, isolation, and faith. Various editions and compilations have appeared over the centuries, so readers will find the series listed in different ways depending on the publisher.
