Robinson Crusoe de Daniel Defoe

Robinson Crusoe

Autor Daniel Defoe
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 noi 2008

În această ediție din seria Word Power Readers, notăm cu interes accentul pus pe vocabularul practic legat de supraviețuire, construcție și mediul natural. Elevii vor învăța termeni specifici pentru activități de subzistență, de la cultivarea cerealelor și creșterea animalelor, până la fortificarea unui adăpost, totul într-un context narativ captivant. Textul reia firul epic al clasicului scris de Daniel Defoe, prezentând transformarea unui naufragiat într-un om capabil să își creeze propria realitate dintr-o sălbăticie tropicală.

Apreciem structura metodică a volumului, care nu se rezumă doar la simplificarea textului original. Cititorul beneficiază de un aparat critic adaptat, ce include note despre contextul naval al secolului al XVII-lea și începuturile sclaviei, oferind o perspectivă istorică necesară. Un element distinctiv este prezența CD-ului audio de două ore; ritmul lent și clar al lecturii este ideal pentru exersarea pronunției și a înțelegerii auditive. Stilul jurnalistic, în care Crusoe își consemnează meticulos progresele și trăirile spirituale, facilitează urmărirea firului narativ chiar și pentru cei care nu stăpânesc limba engleză la nivel avansat.

Profesorii care folosesc Oxford Bookworms Library: Level 2:: Robinson Crusoe sau edițiile din Oxford Reading Tree TreeTops Classics vor aprecia în acest volum materialele auxiliare suplimentare. Spre deosebire de alte adaptări, ediția de față de la The Gresham Publishing Co. Ltd pune un accent mai mare pe analiza tematică și pe glosarul detaliat, fiind un instrument de studiu mai robust pentru examenele de tip ESOL. Este o resursă excelentă pentru trecerea de la lectura ghidată la studiul individual al literaturii clasice.

Despre autor

Daniel De Foe (c.1660–1731) a fost o figură polivalentă a Angliei secolului al XVIII-lea, activând ca negustor, pamfletar politic, spion și jurnalist. Considerat unul dintre părinții romanului modern, el a folosit peste 190 de pseudonime de-a lungul carierei sale prolifice de peste 500 de lucrări. Deși a început să scrie ficțiune la o vârstă înaintată, succesul imediat al lui Robinson Crusoe i-a asigurat un loc permanent în canonul literar. Opera sa este marcată de un realism profund, explorând teme economice și sociale în lucrări precum Moll Flanders sau A Journal of the Plague Year, reflectând experiența sa vastă de observator al societății britanice.

Descriere scurtă

Robinson Crusoe runs away from home to join the navy. After a series of adventures at sea, he is shipwrecked in a devastating storm, and finds himself alone on a remote desert island. He remains there many years, building a life for himself in solitude, until the day he discovers another man’s footprint in the sand . . .

Recenzii

"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

Notă biografică

Daniel Defoe was born in London in 1660. He worked briefly as a hosiery merchant, then as an intelligence agent and political writer. His writings resulted in his imprisonment on several occasions, and earned him powerful friends and enemies. During his lifetime Defoe wrote over two hundred and fifty books, pamphlets and journals and travelled widely in both Europe and the British Isles. Among his most famous works are Robinson Crusoe (1719), Moll Flanders (1722) and A Journal of the Plague Year (1722). Though Defoe was nearly sixty before he began writing fiction, his work is so fundamental to the development of the novel that he is often cited as the first true English novelist. He is also regarded as a founding father of modern journalism and one of the earliest travel writers. Daniel Defoe died in April 1731.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
This edition of Robinson Crusoe contains a retold novel, an introduction, notes on the author, notes on the background when the book was written and the book's themes, a glossary, and a free CD (running time 2 hours). The CD is read slowly and clearly to aid comprehension. It is suitable for students, schools, ELT, ESOL. Robinson Crusoe leaves his family for sea adventures but after a shipwreck is stranded on a desert island in the Caribbean for 28 years. Defoe's novel was published in 1719 but was set in the 1680s at the time of naval exploration, and the beginnings of slavery. Crusoe salvages some supplies from the wrecked ship. As the days go by, he builds a fort and a small area for animals. He gathers fruit, grows crops, keeps goats, hunts, and protects his 'castle'. In his diaries he records his progress. He also records how he reads the Bible and becomes religious. After more than 20 years on the island, Crusoe encounters cannibals, which represent the first human contact he's had since being shipwrecked. He finds a footprint, which he runs away from, but then rescues a man he calls Friday from cannibals. Friday becomes his servant. Robinson finally makes an escape when a ship of mutineers arrives on the island. Robinson and his companions help the British captain to take back control of the ship. Robinson arrives home in England to find he is wealthy after an absence of 35 years. The story, told in a journalistic way because of the way he narrates his life and records all the facts, is about how a lonely human can survive alone when hardship comes. It is also a story of how a man can create his own reality out a wilderness on a desert island. Robinson Crusoe is an important figure in literature, and his name is synonymous with a lonely man living alone on a desert island and surviving.

Select Bibliography

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Robinson Crusoe is one of the most famous literary characters in history, and his story has spawned hundreds of retellings. Inspired by the life of Alexander Selkirk, a sailor who lived for several years on a Pacific island, the novel tells the story of Crusoe's survival after shipwreck on an island, interaction with the mainland's native inhabitants, and eventual rescue. Read variously as economic fable, religious allegory, or imperialist fantasy, Crusoe has never lost its appeal as one of the most compelling adventure stories of all time. In addition to an introduction and helpful notes, this Broadview Edition includes a wide range of appendices that situate Defoe's 1719 novel amidst castaway narratives, economic treatises, reports of cannibalism, explorations of solitude, and Defoe's own writings on slavery and the African trade. A final appendix presents images of Crusoe's rescue of Friday from a dozen of the most significant illustrated editions of the novel published between 1719 and 1920.
