1816 The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Leather Binding, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding
The stereotype edition.
A two volume complete set, bound into one volume.
Illustrated with a monochrome wood engraved frontispiece, and five wood engraved plates. Collated, complete.
A fictional autobiography of the title character, a castaway who spends years on a remote tropical island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives and mutineers before being rescued. The novel was immediately well received, and is often credited as marking the beginnings of realistic fiction as a literary genre, and as a contender for the position of first English novel.
Condition
Bound in re-backed contemporary calf. Externally, wear to the extremities, with minimal marks to the boards. Publisher's advertisement adhered to the front pastedown, owner's inscription to the front free endpaper. Internally firmly bound with bright and generally clean pages with owner's signature to the blank, the odd tidemark with spotting to the versos of the plates.
Very Good
