This first edition credited the work\'s fictional protagonistRobinson Crusoe as its author, leading many readers to believe he was a realperson and the book a travelogue of true incidents It was published under theconsiderably longer original title The Life and Strange SurprizingAdventures of Robinson Crusoe, Of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and TwentyYears, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near theMouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck,wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last asstrangely deliver\'d by Pyrates. Epistolary, confessional, and didactic inform, the book is a fictional autobiography of the title character (whose birthname is Robinson Kreutznaer)—a castaway who spends years on a remote tropicalisland near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers beforebeing rescued.The story is widely perceived to have been influenced by the lifeof Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived for four years on thePacific island called \"Más a Tierra\" (in 1966 its name was changed toRobinson Crusoe Island), Chile. However, other possible sources have been putforward for the text. It is possible, for example, that Defoe was inspired bythe Latin or English translations of Ibn Tufail\'s Hayy ibn Yaqdhan, anearlier novel also set on a desert island. Another source for Defoe\'s novel mayhave been Robert Knox\'s account of his abduction by the King of Ceylon in 1659in \"An Historical Account of the Island Ceylon,\" Glasgow: JamesMacLehose and Sons (Publishers to the University), 1911. In his 2003 book InSearch of Robinson Crusoe, Tim Severin contends that the account of HenryPitman in a short book chronicling his escape from a Caribbean penal colony andsubsequent shipwrecking and desert island misadventures, is the inspiration forthe story.Despite its simple narrative style, Robinson Crusoe was well receivedin the literary world and is often credited as marking the beginning ofrealistic fiction as a literary genre. Before the end of 1719 the book hadalready run through four editions, and it has gone on to become one of the mostwidely published books in history, spawning numerous sequels and adaptationsfor stage, film, and television. Daniel Defoe ca. 1660– 24 April 1731),born Daniel Foe, was an English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer andspy, now most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable forbeing one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to popularisethe form in Britain, and, along with others such as Samuel Richardson, is amongthe founders of the English novel. A prolific and versatile writer, he wrotemore than 500 books, pamphlets and journals on various topics (includingpolitics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology and the supernatural). He wasalso a pioneer of economic journalism.
