Robinson Crusoe

The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe

De: Daniel Defoe

Narrado por: Alan Munro

Who has not dreamed of life on an exotic isle, far away from civilization? Here is the novel that has inspired countless imitations by lesser writers, none of which equal the power and originality of Defoe's famous book. Robinson Crusoe, set ashore on an island after a terrible storm at sea, is forced to make do with only a knife, some tobacco, and a pipe.

He learns how to build a canoe, make bread, and endure endless solitude. That is, until, 24 years later, when he confronts another human being. First published in 1719, Robinson Crusoe has been praised by such writers as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Samuel Johnson as one of the greatest novels in the English language.

Fine story, poor narration.

Story, is read, with many pauses. It takes, one could say, some, getting use to.

Fun story

Going into it, I was of course familiar with the story. I enjoyed many episodes of Gilligan's Island and the Castaway movie. It was a really fun listen. I enjoyed the adventure and Robin's metaphysical musings on his plight. My favorite bit was his evolving estates. It did get tedious towards the end. The narrator's cadence made me worried at first, but I got over it quickly.

the narrators voice could cure insomnia

ive read the book a few times in the past its a great story but this narrator can talk you to sleep if i didnt love the book so much i wouldn't have finnished it

Surprising Spiritual Lessons

Great classic I had not read since Jr. Hi. Some excellent thoughts for our relationship with God.

A Classic

I would probably recommend getting a different version with a better narrator, but I still enjoyed the story.
