About this product
Product Information
Robinson Crusoe was a castaway as a result of a terrible storm at sea. He was left with only a knife, some tobacco and a pipe. And so starts his education in how to survive, he learns how to build a canoe, make bread, and endure endless solitude. Until twenty-four years later he meets another human being. 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. The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe start in England, where he is married with three children and has bought a farm. But he is desperate to see his island and can think of nothing else. His wife tells his she will go with him but then dies. And so the story unfolds and the travelling begins taking us back to the island, to Madagascar, Southeast Asia and China and then on to Siberia. Moll Flanders was also praised by Virginia Woolf, saying it was one of the few English novels which we can call indisputably great. Defoe wrote this story under a pseudonym, giving the impression that the story was actually an autobiography. The tale is a journey from rags to riches of a woman who was born in prison and ascends to wealth and status. Defoe catalogues her misdemeanours, her spirit, her determination and her varied careers from a prostitute, a charming and faithful wife, a thief, and a convict. The title page gives the synopsis: The Fortunes & Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders &c. Who was Born in Newgate, and during a Life of continu'd Variety for Threescore Years, besides her Childhood, was Twelve Year a Whore, five times a Wife (whereof once to her own Brother), Twelve Year a Thief, Eight Year a Transported Felon in Virginia, at last grew Rich, liv'd Honest, and dies a Penitent. Written from her own Memorandums ... A Journal of the Plague Year chronicles the year 1665, when the Great Plague swept through London, claiming nearly 100,000 lives. Defoe so vividly chronicles the progress of the disease that this book has frequently been miscategorised as non-fiction . Defoe is utterly convincing and this book transports us to the city, through the deserted streets and beside the houses with crosses daubed on their doors, introduces us to the citizens and we feel with them the horror, fear and hysteria growing. Roxana is Defoe's last and darkest novel. Again it is an autobiography of a woman who has traded her virtue, at first for survival, and then for fame and fortune. This woman is well aware of the price she is paying and of her weaknesses. She tries to learn the lessons of her trails and struggles in life. But unlike his other characters, she fails conquer these weaknesses.

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
