This is an abridged version, used for schools. It is nevertheless an interesting read, because it shows what is considered by many as the very first romance of known history. It tell the adventures of Robinson on the 17th. or early 18th. century, and it is amazing what one man isolated on an island and without any help managed to do and create in order to survive. His relationship with animals (especially dogs, for company) and later to his friend Friday, makes this a humane book. When I was young I read the integral version, but this one was nice as a refreshment and a reminder.
