About Robinson Crusoe: The Life And Strange Surprising
~ Almost 100 Vintage Illustrations throughout this Classic Daniel Defoe Robinson Crusoe Book ~ Illustrated Version of the Original Unabridged Robinson Crusoe 1719 Text Did you know that the beloved classic Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719 and is considered the first novel ever written? Wouldn't Daniel Defoe be astonished today that he had written a book that people all over the world are still reading over 300 years after he he wrote it? In keeping with the original 1719 book, this revived vintage 1900 illustrated version is titled "The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York, Mariner by Daniel Defoe and adds the subtitle "with nearly one hundred original drawings and decorations done from sketches made in the tropics specially for this work by the brothers Louis and Frederick Rhead" and consists of the original text with illustrations added. The Victorian era was known as the "Golden Era of Illustration" for books. Many of the classics were redone at that time to include numerous illustrations for the story as well as decorative touches on the chapter headings and pages. New books of the era were also full of elaborate illustrations. The Victorians loved ornate decoration and artistic embellishment. This vintage Victorian version of Robinson Crusoe is a good example of their love for extraordinary decoration and detail in everything. *Note to Kindle Readers: Due to the authentic nature of this classic vintage book revival, the Kindle will appear in fixed format. This was necessary in order to properly reproduce the vintage illustrations in the proper place. This format does not affect the reading content or experience other than how the pages turn.
