书籍简介

《鲁滨逊漂流记》是英国作家丹尼尔·笛福的一部长篇小说。该书出版于1719年4月25日。

该作主要讲述了主人公鲁滨逊·克鲁索（Robinson Crusoe）出生于一个中产阶级家庭，一生志在遨游四海的故事。一次在去非洲航海的途中遇到风暴，只身漂流到一个无人的荒岛上，开始了一段与世隔绝的生活。他凭着强韧的意志与不懈的努力，在荒岛上顽强地生存下来，在岛上生活了28年2个月零19天后，终于得以返回故乡。

这部小说是笛福受当时一个真实故事的启发而创作的。1704年9月，一名叫亚历山大·塞尔柯克的苏格兰水手与船长发生争吵，被船长遗弃在大西洋中，在荒岛上生活4年4个月之后，被伍兹·罗杰斯船长所救。笛福便以塞尔柯克的传奇故事为蓝本，把自己多年来的海上经历和体验倾注在人物身上，并充分运用自己丰富的想象力进行文学加工，使“鲁滨逊”不仅成为当时中小资产阶级心目中的英雄人物，而且成为西方文学中一个理想化的新兴资产者。该小说发表多年后，被译成多种文字广为流传于世界各地，并被多次改编为电影和电视剧。

Daniel Defoe's great masterpiece, in a gorgeous new clothbound edition designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. These delectable and collectible Penguin editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design'I walk'd about on the shore, lifting up my hands, and my whole being, as I may say, wrapt up in the contemplation of my deliverance ... reflecting upon all my comrades that were drown'd, and that there should not be one soul sav'd but my self ...

'Who has not dreamed of life on an exotic isle, far away from civilization? Here is the novel which has inspired countless imitations by lesser writers, none of which equal the power and originality of Defoe's famous book. Robinson Crusoe, set ashore on an island after a terrible storm at sea, is forced to make do with only a knife, some tobacco, and a pipe. He learns how to build a canoe, make bread, and endure endless solitude.

That is, until, twenty-four years later, when he confronts another human being. First published in 1719, Robinson Crusoe has been praised by such writers as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Samuel Johnson as one of the greatest novels in the English language. 'Robinson Crusoe has a universal appeal, a story that goes right to the core of existence' Simon Armitage

作者简介

丹尼尔·笛福（1660—1731）被誉为“英国与欧洲小说之父”。笛福生于伦敦一个油烛商家庭，年轻的时候，是一个成功的商人。在从事商业的同时，他还从事政治活动，代表当时日益上升的资产阶级出版了大量的政治性小册子，并因此被捕。笛福直到晚年才开始创作小说。写《鲁滨逊漂流记》时，他已59岁了。此后，他又创作了《辛格顿船长》《杰克上校》《摩尔·弗兰德斯》等小说，这些小说对英国及欧洲小说的发展都起了巨大的影响以及作用。

Born in London to a prosperous tallow-chandler, Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) was educated at the Presbyterian Ministry at Morton's Academy for Dissenters, but in 1683 abandoned the ministry and followed his father by pursuing a career in trade and politics. A prolific non-fiction writer (writing some 500 books on a wide range of topics), prominent public figure (single-handedly producing the Review, a pro-government newspaper, for some time) political agitant (arrested in 1703 for writing an ironical satire on High Church extremism) and secret agent, it was not until late in his life that Defoe turned to fiction. He published Robinson Crusoe in 1719, just over ten years before his death, and is widely held to be the first true novelist.

系列简介

企鹅布面经典系列于2008年由企鹅公司发行，该系列的所有书籍都有特别的封面，每本都是由科拉里·比克福德·史密斯设计的，其特点是在类似亚麻布的封面上用铝箔印上故事中的图案，形成一个重复的图案。科拉里说她设计这套书的目的是 "回到维多利亚时代的装订世界和书籍装订的黄金时代"。这些书还具有彩色封底和一条丝带书签。

The first ‘official’ books in the Penguin Clothbound Classics books were released in 2008 by Penguin. All the books in the series have distinctive covers with each being designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith, and featuring a repeating pattern made from a motif from the story stamped in foil onto a linen-like cloth cover. Coralie has said her intent in designing the series was ‘to hark back to the world of Victorian bindings and a golden age of book binding’. The books also feature coloured endpapers and an integrated ribbon bookmark.
