The world is so taken up of late with novels and romances, that it will be hard for a private history to be taken for genuine, where the names and other circumstances of the person are concealed, and on this account we must be content to leave the reader to pass his own opinion upon the ensuing sheet, and take it just as he pleases.The author is here supposed to be writing her own history, and in the very beginning of her account she gives the reasons why she thinks fit to conceal her true name, after which there is no occasion to say any more about that.It is true that the original of this story is put into new words, and the style of the famous lady we here speak of is a little altered; particularly she is made to tell her own tale in modester words that she told it at first, the copy which came first to hand having been written in language more like one still in Newgate than one grown penitent and humble, as she afterwards pretends to be.The pen employed in finishing her story, and making it what you now see it to be, has had no little difficulty to put it into a dress fit to be seen, and to make it speak language fit to be read. When a woman debauched from her youth, nay, even being the offspring of debauchery and vice, comes to give an account of all her vicious practices, and even to descend to the particular occasions and circumstances by which she ran through in threescore years, an author must be hard put to it wrap it up so clean as not to give room, especially for vicious readers, to turn it to his disadvantage.

Es war 1664, um den Anfang des September, als ich gesprachsweise von meinen Nachbarn horte, da die Pest in Holland von neuem ausgebrochen ware. Sie war dort im vorhergehenden Jahre sehr heftig aufgetreten, besonders in Amsterdam und Rotterdam, wohin sie nach einigen aus Italien, nach andern aus der Levante mit Waren, die die turkische Flotte heimgebracht hatte, eingeschleppt worden war. Noch andere behaupteten, sie ware von Kandia oder Zypern gekommen. Nun, woher sie kam, wollte wenig bedeuten, aber darin, da sie wieder nach Holland gekommen war, stimmten alle uberein.

¿Qué pasaría si un día el barco en el que te encuentras naufraga y te quedas solo en una isla desierta? ¿Y qué pasaría si después de un largo tiempo de supervivencia y soledad encuentras las huellas de otro hombre en la arena? ¿Que ocurriria si te enteras de que ese hombre huye de unos canibales? ¿Que sucederia si se hicieran amigos? Todas estas preguntas tienen contestacion dentro de las paginas de este libro cargado de aventura, suspense y mucho entretenimiento.

The sole survivor of a shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe is stranded on an uninhabited island far away from any shipping routes. With patience and ingenuity, he transforms his island into a tropical paradise. For twenty-four years he has no human company, until one Friday, he rescues a prisoner from a boat of cannibals.

The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (now more commonly rendered as The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe) is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published in 1719. Just as in its significantly more popular predecessor, Robinson Crusoe (1719), the first edition credits the works fictional protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author. It was published under the considerably longer original title: The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe; Being the Second and Last Part of His Life, And of the Strange Surprising Accounts of his Travels Round three Parts of the Globe.

Despite its simple narrative style, Robinson Crusoe was well received in the literary world and is often credited as marking the beginning of realistic fiction as a literary genre. It is generally seen as a contender for the first English novel. Before the end of 1719, the book had already run through four editions, and it has gone on to become one of the most widely published books in history, spawning so many imitations, not only in literature but also in film, television, and radio, that its name is used to define a genre, the Robinsonade.

Este libro incluye El camino más corto con los disidentes y su posterior carta de expiación, así como el magnífico Himno a la picota. La obra cuenta, ni más ni menos, que la historia de una algarada en medio de Londres a favor de un Defoe cubierto de rosas y besos, el ardor legendario de un pueblo que lo alzo a la categoria de heroe popular; pero tambien cuenta la historia un chantaje, el inicio de la carrera de un espia que durante años fue parte de complots y conspiraciones, ese otro y oscuro Robinson Crusoe.

Robinson Crusoe, published in 1719, is considered by many to be the first novel in English, and its success was so enormous that by the end of the nineteenth century it had spawned more translations and versions than any other previous English book. An everyman character who has become part of our cultural heritage, Defoe's castaway - shipwrecked, imperilled and facing a host of elemental challenges - lives an archetypal life of survival, adventure and personal development. On one level a simple adventure story, while at the same time an allegory, a quest novel and a spiritual autobiography, Robinson Crusoe has captured the imagination of readers for nearly three centuries.
