Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When Daniel Defoe's 'Robinson Crusoe' was first published in 1719, many of its earliest readers believed it to be a true story. Although the book was only ostensibly an account of a real incident, it was in fact based upon the experiences of Alexander Selkirk (1676-1721). A Scottish privateer… and Royal Navy officer, Selkirk was marooned by his captain for four years and four months between 1704 and 1709 on an uninhabited island in the South Pacific Ocean. Selkirk managed to survive thanks to his cunning and resourcefulness, however he eventually died due to a tropical illness aboard HMS Weymouth off West Africa years later. An unbelievable biographical account of Selkirk's harrowing experiences as a castaway on an unforgiving island, John Howell's 'Adventures of Alexander Selkirk' will appeal to fans of tales like 'Robinson Crusoe' and true stories of death-defying feats. Read & Co. Travel is proudly republishing this biography now in a brand new edition complete with an introductory essay by George Atherton Aitken.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - ''Coleridge's Conversation Poems - The Complete Collection'' features all eight of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poems dubbed 'conversation poems' by George McLean Harper. The poems included in the collection are The Eolian Harp (1796), Reflections on Having Left a Place of Retirement (1796), Thi…s Lime-Tree Bower My Prison (1797), Frost at Midnight (1798), Fears in Solitude (1798), The Nightingale: A Conversation Poem (1798), Dejection: An Ode (1802) and To a Gentleman (To William Wordsworth) (1817). The collection explores themes of love and marriage, human nature and external nature, faith and God, and poetic inspiration. This book is the ideal gift for lovers of English poetry and the Lake Poets, and should not be missed by those interested in Romanticism. Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 -1834) was an English poet and literary critic and is considered a founder of the Romantic movement alongside William Wordsworth and Robert Southey. His work is well-known for its reflections on nature and human relationships to each other, the world and God. Other famous examples of his work include Kubla Khan (1817) and his critical essays and lectures on William Shakespeare. Read & Co.'s Ragged Hand imprint is proud to be publishing a high-quality pocketbook as part of the Remembering Series, and hope fans of Coleridge will enjoy the complete collection of the Conversation Poems.
