Robinson Crusoe - Defoe Daniel

With Robinson Crusoe, Defoe wrote what is regarded as the first English novel, and created one of the most popular and enduring myths in literature. Written in an age of exploration and enterprise, it has been variously interpreted as an embodiment of British imperialist values, as a portrayal of 'natural man', or as a moral fable. But above all it is a brilliant narrative, depicting Crusoe's transformation from terrified survivor to self-sufficient master of an island. The Richmond Readers series offers a selection of high quality original and simplified stories in a variety of formats and generes. The books are graded in seven levels from young starter to advanced. All the books include helpful exercises and activities to make reading more fun.
