Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. 1953 Edition. 479 pages The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe Liked reading this book as we have often watched TV series about the escapades of this man and his servant Friday. So adventurous and fascinates me as to how he can survive and keep protected with no weapons to speak of. Loved the journey this book took me on. All corners of the world and how they were able to live in the areas by bartering and how they protected themselves with the knowledge they gained from others. I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). This is the sequel to Defoe's classic novel, published in the same year, 1719. I didn't enjoy this as much as its predecessor. Crusoe gets the travel bug again in his early 60s after his wife dies. The earlier chapters rather repetitively detailed the various struggles on his island after he left between factions of Englishmen, Spaniards and "savages" invading the island. The later chapters were a bit more interesting, though the only stand out section for me was when Crusoe falls out with his shipmates after they massacre the inhabitants of a town in Madagascar after some of those inhabitants lynch one of the ship's crew for abducting a local girl. The crew are so annoyed by Crusoe's stopping their murderous activities that they force him to leave the ship. He has a number of further travels and adventures, particularly in China (a country of which the author seems to have a particularly low opinion) and Russia, but these are not described in a way that I found very engaging. There is a lot more in this novel than in in the original about the contemporary perceived superiority of Christianity over all other religions. It isn't too surprising that this has not had the impact of its predecessor over the last three centuries. 3/5 nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
