About this ebook

Complete and unabridged, with 59 full-page plates by Willem van de Velde the Younger, Willem van de Velde the Elder and Ludolf Bakhuizen. Crusoe, old and rich and unable to sit still, goes back to his island — then on to Madagascar, India, China and overland across Siberia to Archangel. Defoe published the first book at fifty-nine and this sequel four months later; it sold, it was read for a century as the other half of the story, and it is where the castaway turns into something much less comfortable: a trader, a passenger, an old man who cannot stop moving. Fifty-nine plates of shipping, shipwreck and coastal weather, from Dutch seas to Turner's Brighton, carry the old wanderer across every water he still cannot leave alone.
