Description

Bound by J. Larkins (Stempel). Papierbedingt leicht gebr�t. - Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is presented as an autobiography of the title character (whose birth name is Robinson Kreutznaer)�a castaway who spends 28 years on a remote tropical desert island near the coasts of Venezuela and Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued. The story has been thought to be based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived for four years on a Pacific island called "M�a Tierra", now part of Chile, which was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966.
