Recensione:

"Never since childhood have I been so thoroughly immersed in a book" (Jim Crace Financial Times)

"An 18th-century reader, raised on a high-minded diet of elegy and pastoral, must have felt stunned on first encountering the jagged prose of a Daniel Defoe, with its street-wise populism and delight in the commonplace" (Terry Eagleton)

"Robinson Crusoe has a universal appeal, a story that goes right to the core of existence" (Simon Armitage Guardian)

"Defoe should surely be credited with inventing the English novel" (Mail on Sunday)

"Defoe was an imaginative genius" (John Carey Sunday Times)
