The marvel of this timeless tale of adventure and utility verges on the inexpressible. The book begins with the restless longings of young Robinson Crusoe for travel and adventure and climaxes with the ultimate fusion of man's resourcefulness with the agents of nature. The remarkably realistic account of the marooned Crusoe's ability to make himself an endurable existence in his solitude bespeaks Defoe's genius for life-like fiction. Its message argues a strong case for the concept of individualism.
Reviews
"This audio version is an investment you will not regret... This is especially true because of the cadence used by the narrator, Frederick Davidson. The Oxford-groomed voice of this Englishman takes its time with this book; you can drive in stop-and-go on the freeway and never lose the thread."-Los Angeles Times
