With Robinson Crusoe, Defoe presented one of the most important novels in world literature.

He plays with literary genres in a virtuoso way that only a great author can do.

For today's readers, this novel is not only exciting, but also a moral portrait of the colonial empire of the time.

Such a successful combination of entertainment and erudition rarely occurs in this form in classical literature - not to mention modern literature.
