The book: Beautiful and a well-preserved 19th-century edition of Robinson Crusoe, faithfully edited after the original 1719 edition, as noted by the editor in the preface. The text reflects the original language and spellings from the early 18th century, maintaining its historical integrity. The inclusion of the original prefaces, along with Defoe's authentic storytelling, offers readers the classic narrative of Robinson Crusoe’s survival on a deserted island, shipwrecked and stranded for 28 years.

The author: Daniel Defoe (1660–1731) was an English writer, journalist, and spy, who is most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe's work spans political tracts, novels, and travelogues, but his legacy is often most closely associated with Robinson Crusoe, a tale of adventure, survival, and human resilience.
