Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.

ROBINSON CRUSOE
This book is very exciting and adventurous, especialy when he gets attacked by the indians in his fort(that he built).At the beginning it felt a little slow because it was talking about his early childhood.He then sets sail out to sea over his parents wishes, but his lust for the sea overcomes that.Terror strikes as pirats raid the boat and keep him as a slave after 2 years he escapes to a island in the middle of nowhere.On the island he gets attacked by indians and animals!And I will leave the rest for you to read.Personaly I think its the best book I have ever read A CLASSIC!If you want a book that gives you danger, excitement and adventure than Robinson Crusoe is the book for you.

Great book!
I just read this book and it was great. I couldn't stop reading it. So good you must read this review!

Robinson Crusoe was a man who wanted to be an adventurer but his family didn't want him to be that. One day he was going to London on a boat when there was a great big storm that destroyed the ship and they rowed to a boat near them. Robinson sold the boat and got on another boat. This time the ship crashed into some rocks.

Robinson woke up on an island. He saw the ship so he went to collect stuff from it. One day, a storm hit and destroyed the ship. Robinson got a lot of stuff from the ship so he built a house and he had many weapons and animals. He hunted food and he had a journal and pen until the pen ran out of ink. He spent many years there.

One morning, Robinson found footprints in the sand. He knew someone else was there. He hid in his house. Then he found out cannibals came and ate animals around the island. He knew the cannibals were look for some human flesh to eat. He needs to survive!

This book was so awesome I couldn't put it down. That is only a part of the book. There are many more parts to the book when you read the book. So if you have it, read it now. If you dont have, go to the library or buy it!

Just as good Second time around!
Read this book as a kid 50 years ago, and upon hearing of one of my friends was reading it, I decided that I would read it again, remembering how much I enjoyed it as a youth.Ordered this paperback enriched classic version of Robinson Crusoe and enjoyed reading it again!Some reviewers complain about various things, such as the "old english" in the book...frankly considering when it was written, I was very surprised that the book had such a modern sound to it as it does!Sure there are a few words that might throw off those who are unfamiliar with bygone words/expressions such as "ague" "oakum" and "hogshead" but there is a great little section in the notes at the back that explain what such arcane expressions mean in today's language.
Crusoe was a real "mind trip" for me, enjoyed being marooned on his island for twenty and seven years with him! Long live Friday and Poll!

The original survivor
Often considered to be the first novel in English, "Robinson Crusoe" is also one of the most widely known stories in the world.Turning his back on his comfortable middle-class life and turning a deaf ear to the entreaties of his parents, Crusoe takes to the sea and an adventurous life that includes storms, slavery, and winning a fortune as a plantation owner before the fateful shipwreck that strands him on a remote island for the greatest portion of the book.

Adapting oneself to the conventions of eighteenth century writing--extremely verbose by today's standard--will be a barrier to many readers, perhaps an insurmountable one.Those who persevere will find that familiarity with the style will cause the difficulties to fade so the power of the story can shine through.His efforts to make a comfortable life for himself and the moral reflections he entertains in solitude are interesting, and there are many passages of high adventure.

Great!
The product was in very good condition. I paid for the "Express Shipping" thinking that it would be overnight or next day. It wasn't and I didn't receive the book until almost 4-6 days after purchasing it. I was upset about this because I needed it for an assignment and didn't have it in time. Other than this, I was pleased. I would do business again and I would just order my product sooner. ... Read more

Product Description
Daniel Defoe , born Daniel Foe, was an English writer, journalist, and pamphleteer, who gained enduring fame for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to popularize the form in Britain, and is even referred to by some as among the founders of the English novel.Excerpts from this work of his:...I doubt not but the title of this book will amuse some of my reading friends a little at first; they will make a pause, perhaps, as they do at a witch's prayer, and be some time resolving whether they had best look into it or not, lest they should really raise the Devil by reading his story....It must certainly therefore be a most useful undertaking to give the true history of this Tyrant of the air, this God of the world, this terror and aversion of mankind, which we call Devil; to show what he is, and what he is not, where he is, and where he is not, when he is in us, and when he is not; for I cannot doubt but that the Devil is really and bona fide in a great many of our honest weak-headed friends, when they themselves know nothing of the matter. ...
