The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe

The Further adventures of Robinson CrusoeA novel by Daniel Defoe F irst published in 1719. Just as in its significantly more popular predecessor Robinson Crusoe (1719) the first edition credits the work''s fictional protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author. It was published under the considerably longer original title: The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe.The book starts with the statement about Crusoe''s marriage in England. He bought a little farm in Bedford and had three children: two sons and one daughter. Our hero suffered a distemper and a desire to see his island. He could talk of nothing else and one can imagine that no one took his stories seriously except his wife. She told him in tears I will go with you but I won''t leave you. But in the middle of this felicity Providence unhinged him at once with the loss of his wife.
