    The first english novel ever written and still one of the best I have ever read. Full of amazing adventures, insights into life, and finally a successful book without a love interest.

    I really like his methodical, concrete, practical style, the likes of which I've never seen before and is quite similar to my own. Some may find it excessive or boring, especially the part in the middle with the details of being stranded on the island but wait for the action at the end. I liked it all though. Well done

  • Robinson Crusoe

  • I was fairly young when I read this one. I liked it and want to read it again.

Recreations of two of the world's most unforgettable and enthralling adventure stories: one about storm and shipwreck, pirates and mutiny, the other a tale of a fantastical underwater world of mythical monsters and a mysterious sea captain. The action-packed storylines retain all the impact of the authors' own words; photos and narrative illustrations help readers to absorb the full flavor of the original novels. Fact-filled boxes examine the books' themes, characters, and each author's life and times. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea includes a map of the journey and explores marine life and oceanography in Jules Verne's time. A specially researched map of Crusoe's exotic island gives facts on its flora and fauna.
