Sure to offend those who insist on applying 21st century mores to a novel published in 1719, but for the rest of us it is a rip-roaring good adventure and an interesting glimpse into the 18th century worldview. Nice illustrations too. ( ) I think this is worth reading as a cultural artifact. Crusoe careened around the Atlantic enslaving people, and was then terrified of how he might be treated if he fell into their hands; his profound religious awakening and intimate relationship with an indigenous person (whose name he never asks) did not lead to any change in his views; his highest achievement as a person once enslaved himself was to become the feudal lord of a colony half-populated by more kidnapped and enslaved people. Crusoe is just face-meltingly abhorrent, and by the end I'd convinced myself that it was a satire of the English mindset of the time... Maybe it wasn't then, but it is now. I liked the parts about danger and setting up systems of food production, though.
“Robinson Crusoe,” though, remains something truly special: It belongs in that small category of classics — others are “The Odyssey” and “Don Quixote” — that we feel we’ve read even if we haven’t. Retellings for children and illustrations, like those by N.C. Wyeth, have made its key scenes universally recognizable.... A classic is a book that generations have found worth returning to and arguing with. Vividly written, replete with paradoxes and troubling cultural attitudes, revealing a deep strain of supernaturalism beneath its realist surface, “Robinson Crusoe” is just such a classic and far more than a simple adventure story for kids. A friend of mine, a Welsh blacksmith, was twenty-five years old and could neither read nor write, when he heard a chapter of Robinson read aloud in a farm kitchen. Up to that moment he had sat content, huddled in his ignorance, but he left that farm another man. There were day-dreams, it appeared, divine day-dreams, written and printed and bound, and to be bought for money and enjoyed at pleasure. Down he sat that day, painfully learned to read Welsh, and returned to borrow the book. It had been lost, nor could he find another copy but one that was in English. Down he sat once more, learned English, and at length, and with entire delight, read Robinson... It was the scene of Crusoe at the wreck, if I remember rightly, that so bewitched my blacksmith. Nor is the fact surprising. Every single article the castaway recovers from the hulk is “a joy for ever” to the man who reads of them. They are the things that should be found, and the bare enumeration stirs the blood. Crusoe has been called a kind of Protestant monk, and it is true that he turns the chance of his isolation into an anchorite’s career. The story is one of spiritual realization — almost half a lifetime spent on contemplation works profound changes, whatever the subject’s religion. We can watch Crusoe become, year by year, a better, wiser man... Robinson Crusoe may still be the greatest English novel. Surely it is written with a mastery that has never been surpassed. It is not only as convincing as real life. It is as deep and as superficial as direct experience itself.

Rez.: Für die Klassikerreihe "Visuelle Bibliothek" ist Defoes "Robinson" so etwas wie ein Glücksfall wegen der vielen Ansatzpunkte für anschauliche Informationen über Segelschifffahrt, Kartographie der Weltmeere, Piraten und dergleichen. Der in gedämpften Farben zurückhaltend illustrierte Text ist stark gekürzt, räumt aber trotzdem neben den reinen Tatsachen der moralischen und religiösen Selbsterforschung und Läuterung Robinsons relativ den vom Original vorgegebenen Umfang ein, ohne zu langweilen. Stilistisch ist der Text in einwandfreiem Deutsch verfasst. Wie in dieser Reihe üblich, wird die Erzählung ergänzt durch einen biografischen Blick auf den Autor und eine Doppelseite zur Rezeption weltweit bis heute. - Empfehlenswert. Auch für Schulbibliotheken.Die Nacherzählung der weltbekannten Abenteuer von Robinson, den es auf eine einsame Insel verschlagen hat, wird durch viele Informationen über Segelschiffe, Piraten und Schiffsreisen im 17. Jahrhundert anschaulich ergänzt. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
