Three centuries later, the book remains a classic of the adventure genre and is widely considered the first great English novel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book also has much to teach us, in retrospect, about the entrenched attitudes of colonizers toward the colonized, and it stands at the beginning of a long tradition of colonial literature and representation that still resounds today. Now with a new introduction by Jamaica Kincaid and vivid illustrations by the Mexican artist Eko, the Restless Classics edition of Robinson Crusoe invites readers to reconsider this tale of a castaway who spends thirty years on a remote tropical island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers before being ultimately rescued.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Brown","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45152183648407,"sku":"9781731705242","price":2297.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781731705242.webp?v=1767104626","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/robinson-crusoe-9781731705242","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
