An unforgettable adventure awaits in Daniel Defoe’s beloved classic Robinson Crusoe, enriched with first-edition illustrations by one of the best American painters, N. C. Wyeth. After a violent storm destroys his ship and sweeps away his crewmates, Robinson Crusoe, a young English mariner on his way to Africa, is shipwrecked on a remote desert island. Alone and completely cut off from civilization, Crusoe must rely on his wit and skills to survive in the wilderness. From finding shelter and keeping himself fed, to taming wild animals and grappling with his own solitude, he must now face his own weaknesses and emerge stronger. Crusoe documents his years in isolation diligently, recording his experience of surviving on his own away from human company, fending for himself, and reflecting on his previous life. In his titular journal, he records an unforgettable adventure, including his struggle with faith and companionship, all fundamental parts of human nature.
