This book collects the Robinson Crusoe Trilogy, including:THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOETHE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOESERIOUS REFLECTIONS DURING THE LIFE AND SURPRISING ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOE (the lesser known and very hard to obtain book from this trilogy).Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the books in the trilogy are presented as autobiographies of the title character, a castaway who spends thirty years on a remote tropical island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued.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 one of the most widely published books in history, spawning numerous sequels and adaptations for stage, film, and television.
