Three centuries later, the book remains a classic of the adventure genre and is widely considered the first great English novel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book also has much to teach us, in retrospect, about the entrenched attitudes of colonizers toward the colonized, and it stands at the beginning of a long tradition of colonial literature and representation that still resounds today. Now with a new introduction by Jamaica Kincaid and vivid illustrations by the Mexican artist Eko, the Restless Classics edition of Robinson Crusoe invites readers to reconsider this tale of a castaway who spends thirty years on a remote tropical island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers before being ultimately rescued.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Defoe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1731701039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781731701039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.67d","brand":"Daniel Defoe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47424477364479,"sku":"9781731701039","price":13.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f32e0a8a-305a-4389-a0ab-9dbc426a8516.jpg?v=1761530476","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/robinson-crusoe-daniel-defoe-9781731701039","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
