About this listen

When mariner Robinson Crusoe sails from London to the African coast to Brazil, his unpredictable voyage takes a catastrophic course. The lone survivor of a shipwreck, he washes ashore on an Atlantic island. Resourceful and determined to contend with providence and nature, he finds his sovereignty empowering. Through the years he builds a civilization as a solitary man. Then he discovers a stranger’s footprint in the sand.

A pioneering work of literary realism, Daniel Defoe’s epic has left an inestimable legacy. Arguably the first English novel and the archetype of the survivalist genre, Robinson Crusoe has become a symbol of self-reliance and individualism.

Revised edition: Previously published as Robinson Crusoe, this edition of Robinson Crusoe (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Unfortunately this version has a lot of skipping so am returning it. Disappointing in such a classic book.

As I was several times, feeling very bored.. the book would occasionally regain my interest for a short while, but not for long.
Being a work of fiction, it went on and on and on and I couldn’t wait for it to finish , sorry.
The narrator mispronounced the words coxswain and boatswain by saying them the way that they are spelled rather than the way that they are said ‘koksun’ and ‘bosun’. But otherwise he was ok, apart from when he did a Russian accent and sounded like Count Dracula.
I accept that it’s a classic, but I listened to 24hrs of it because of my interest in non-fiction of this type.
I’ll stick to the non-fiction from now on.

Mostly boring
