THE LIFE AND STRANGE SURPRISING ADVENTURES OF Robinson Crusoe
When Robinson Crusoe, an ordinary young
Englishman, decides to run away to sea, a great storm forewarns him that life will be dangerous. Captured by pirates, he is enslaved but escapes only to go back to sea again!
Cast ashore on a desert island which is to be his home for twenty-eight years, Robinson Crusoe manages to exist in comfort and safety entirely by his own wits and ingenuity. How he builds a house, secures food, domesticates animals, even establishes a "countryseat" forms one of the most absorbing accounts in literature.
His encounter with the cannibals, his rescue of Friday, who becomes his devoted servant, and his strange escape from the island comprise a tale which has delighted readers for over two centuries.
THE Swiss Family Robinson
Shipwrecked-faced with the problem of survival-the Robinson family resourcefully learns to make use of all manner of flora and fauna contained on the island on which they are marooned.
The wreck itself proves to be a lucky find. The father, mother, and four boys explore the wondrous island until they find a site and build their ingenious tree-house. With the passing years, memories of their European home fade, and the Robinsons learn to love their island home, which they name New Switzerland.
Dwelling comfortably, the Swiss family never realizes how meaningful their island has become, or how deep their roots have penetrated, until one day, a ship anchors offshore and offers them the chance to return to civilization.
A perfect "desert island story"-an ideal family adventure
-this chronicle has entertained millions of readers.
