Seeking Robinson Crusoe by Tim Severin

Seeking Robinson Crusoe by Tim Severin

From one of our foremost travel writers and adventures comes an exiting journey into the history and myth surrounding Robinson CrusoeSeeking Robinson Crusoe explores the legend behind Danile Defoe's classic novel, positing possible palces where this famous literary charcter could have been marooned. Furthermore it rexamines the claim that Crusoe was based a real life castaway, Alexamnder Selkirk. Effortlessly describing the tropical locales and the practicalities of island life, Tim Severin brings the fictional and the factual together, taking the reader on a voyage of unusual discovery. And, along the way, explodes some enduring myths.

Tim Severin, explorer, filmmaker, and lecturer has retraced the storied journeys of Saint Brendan the Navigator, Sindbad the Sailor, Jason and the Argonauts, Ulysses, Genghis Khan and Robinson Crusoe. His books about these expeditions are classics of exploration and travel. He made his historical fiction debut with the hugely successful Viking series, followed by the Pirate and Saxon series.
