Robinson Crusoe

Audio CD (BBC Books July 10, 2008) , Unabridged edition

Young Robinson Crusoe has a burning ambition to be a sailor. Paying no attention to his parents’ warnings, he runs away to sea to embark on a series of thrilling adventures: struggles with Barbary pirates, a shipwreck, and the extraordinary meeting with Man Friday. . . Roy Marsden plays the older Robinson Crusoe looking back on a life of recklessness, daring, and adventure—and the survival of 28 years, two months, and 19 days on a desert island. Based on the real-life adventures of Alexander Selkirk, Robinson Crusoe was one of the very first adventure stories to be published in English literature. It remains as gripping today as it did on first publication in 1719, and this enthralling dramatization perfectly evokes the excitement and adventure of the original book.
