288 Years Ago, A Literary Classic Is Published.
 

Robinson CrusoeThough FlatSigned has over 30,000 rare and collectible books in its inventory, including books SIGNED by such literary icons as Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, John Steinbeck, and many more, there are still some books that we feel absolutely amazed and privileged to have been able to add to our collection. April 25th marks the 288th Anniversary of the first publication of one of those books: Daniel Defoe's legendary fictional work The Life and Strange Adventures of Robinson Crusoe! The book was published in 1719 and remained the most well known and best selling of all english novels until the 20th century! The book, about a shipwrecked sailor who spends 28 years on a deserted island, is based on the experiences of shipwreck victims and of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor who spent four years on a small island off the coast of South America in the early 1700s. The positive reception to this book was almost immediate and universal and by the end of the 19th century, no book in the history of Western literature had spawned more editions, spin-offs, and translations (even into languages such as Inuit, Coptic, and Maltese) than Robinson Crusoe. The classic has more than 700 such alternative versions and has been translated to stage and film numerous times. This literary classic has truly stood the test of time.

FlatSigned is proud to own one of the earliest and most beautiful copies of this book on the market! Today, in honor of the Anniversary of its first publication, we are offering it to you, our VIP customers, for nearly half the retail value! This treasure is the centerpiece of our collection and would most certainly be the centerpiece of yours. More information on the piece is available further in this newsletter.
