Book 18


The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe; Being the Second and Last Part OF HIS LIFE, And of the Strange Surprising Accounts of his Travels Round three Parts of the Globe. The book starts with the statement about Crusoe's marriage in England. He bought a little farm in Bedford and had three children: two sons and one daughter. Our hero suffered a distemper and a desire to see "his island." He could talk of nothing else, and one can imagine that no one took his stories seriously, except his wife. She told him, in tears, "I will go with you, but I won't leave you." But in the middle of this felicity, Providence unhinged him at once, with the loss of his wife. Includes: Crusoe's return to his island, Crusoe's adventures in Madagascar, Crusoe's travels in Southeast Asia and China, and Crusoe's travels in Siberia.
