EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the preface of "The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, or York, Mariner" by Daniel Defoe. Published in 1719 during the 18th century, this second edition book became a bestseller and an iconic piece of literature from the Age of Enlightenment. The preface was written to cleverly suggest that Robinson Crusoe himself was the author and that the story was non-fiction. The image transports us back in time to a period when European travel and colonialism were at their peak. It captures the essence of this realistic fiction narrative, which tells the tale of a shipwrecked castaway's survival on a deserted island. The page itself is filled with words that bring forth both wonder and despair as we delve into Crusoe's adventures. Daniel Defoe, an English writer from the 1700s, created this wonderful character who has become synonymous with resilience and resourcefulness. Through his literary genius, Defoe crafted a monstrous character who overcame countless obstacles while stranded on an island. This print not only pays homage to one of history's most successful novels but also highlights its significance within English literature. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of how storytelling can transport us to far-off lands and ignite our imagination like no other art form can.
