The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe

The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe Synopsis

For more than two hundred years, Robinson Crusoe's story was encountered by generations of readers as one text in two parts, such that the second novel, The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, constituted a clear continuation of the protagonist's eventful life. In the first part of this sequel, Crusoe returns to his island to advise and protect a diverse community of castaways, but in the second part his compulsion to wander takes him on adventure-packed travels through Africa, Asia, and Europe. This new Broadview Edition makes the novel available to students, scholars, and general readers, accompanied by a full critical introduction, helpfully annotated text, and historical appendices.
