But (and this was a surprise to me, there were two sequels written to the original book).This kindle (ASIN #B0084BJ6WK) contains both titles, and a Preface, even tho that is not indicated by the title.The original book is usually just called "Robinson Crusoe", but sometimes is called "The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" (which is a shortening of the insanely much longer original title "The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver'd by Pyrates" - see wiki, there's a picture of the first edition.The first sequel is usually called "The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe", but was originally called "The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe".Anyway, this edition (ASIN #B0084BJ6WK) contains both books, and an Introduction, or Preface, by someone who signs it "G.D.", but I don't know who that person is. It also has subtle edits and changes. I tracked this kindle along with another kindle, and an audiobook, and a hardcover copy. They were all slightly different. But one big noticeable difference was in accounting of the number in an army at one point in the first book - turns out Defoe himself screwed that up and got it all muddled, and tried (but failed) to fix it via edits for later editions. He just muddled it more by his edits, which is pretty funny. Some of the number are counted both as dead, and as alive, and some just disappear, as tho they'd never been there at all, except they were, because he didn't edit them out ;-).A more interesting difference was the elimination of an internal debate he had with himself near the very end of the book, regarding whether or not he could live fully embracing the Roman Catholic religion, with all that means with regard to the contemporary-to-the-story Spanish Inquisition.All of the editions I read/tracked had different chapter breaks, as well as word choices and substitutions. Makes me wonder what was original! I certainly don't know. I suspect there are as many variations as there are editions.In any event, all that doesn't detract from the story. It's highly readable, and very enjoyable. The first book more so than the sequel. I recommend everyone should read it, it's a fun read! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read about Tom Hanks as Robinson Crusoe *by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2019* If you haven't heard the title of this book and are not aware of the topic, then you must live in North Korea. How can the first novel not be given 5 stars? Daniel Defoe presents the famous story of the lone man struggling to survive on an uninhabited island. Although written centuries ago, it still holds your attention and presents fundamental truths such as the importance and requirement of using one's mind in order to survive. All of the millions of mindless sheep today who regurgitate slogans only survive because of others who have used their minds to produce goods, like Robinson Crusoe. There are several interesting underlying themes and exciting confrontations that occur throughout. ### ⭐ Tedious *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2018* I am writing a review of the audiobook version. I liked the narrator's presentation of the book. He has a good speaking voice and I've enjoyed other books he has narrated.As for the book, one cannot expect the writing style or narrative to match that of current day since it was written 300 years ago, I did enjoy the usage of certain words in the book, which are now considered archaic. That said, I found the story to be tedious, repetitive and overtly religious. While it probably helped sales of the book in England, I did not like the overly superior manner in which the English way of life is portrayed in the book. All other peoples and they way they live are deemed are inferior.Daniel Dafoe must have consumed the entire world's supply of commas for 10 or 20 years in writing this book. Nearly every sentence seems to contain a comma and many have multiple commas. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/15918751-robinson-crusoe-collectors-library-unabridged-edition](https://www.desertcart.it/products/15918751-robinson-crusoe-collectors-library-unabridged-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
