Robinson Crusoe (edición ilustrada): Aus, The Life And Surprising Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe Of York, Mariner (1893)
by Daniel DefoeLa colección Grandes Clásicos Literatura Random House nos trae esta exquisita edición de Robinson Crusoe con ilustraciones del caricaturista francés J.J. Grandville (1803-1847) y prologada por J.M. Coetzee. Robinson Crusoe, publicada en 1719, inaugura en Inglaterra la novela moderna y, a lo largo de los siglos, sus personajes han ingresado en la restringida familia de los arquetipos imperecederos. «Como Odiseo en su singladura hacia Ítala -nos dice J.M. Coetzee en el prólogo- o como el Quijote montado sobre Rocinante, Robinson Crusoe, con su loro y su sombrilla, se ha convertido en un personaje de la conciencia colectiva de Occidente que trasciende al libro en el que se celebran sus aventuras. Tras haber aspirado a pertenecer a la Historia, se ha encontrado inmerso en la esfera del mito.» Esta edición, que reúne las dos partes del clásico con ilustraciones de la época, recupera también la espléndida traducción de uno de nuestros clásicos contemporáneos, Julio Cortázar. «La verdadera grandeza de una vida consiste en llegar a ser el dueño de uno mismo.»

La presente edición, traducción de Julio Cortázar, incorpora una detallada cronología, además de una introducción a cargo de John Richetti, catedrático emérito A. M. Rosenthal de lengua inglesa en la Universidad de Pensilvania y uno de los más reconocidos especialistas en la literatura del siglo XVIII.
