Our Reading Classic Program & Original HTML Reviews

Sagely Fox has an alternate 'private' site where you may:

• Access my 2021 reviews as they were originally written in HTML.
• From that page you may access our Public Files Index.

The original purpose for this 'private' site was to store our 'Free Reading Classics Program' E-books and Audiobooks! But it has become slightly more over time.

The Reading Classics Program

There you can download epub e-books and audiobooks, usually the audio in zipped files containing the book's mp3 files. Some links are simply to where you may access the e-book and/or audiobook online for yourself. There are two ways to access The Reading Classics Program. You may either scroll down to the list of available downloads on the 'private' Index/Public Files page or you may click on The Reading Classics Program heading at the top of the Index/Public Files page to directly access the directories.

You're free to download any document or file in the Sagely Fox Public Files or share them with your friends. You'll not be doing anything illegal. They are all public domain files.

The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (1808)

The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Four Stars, recommended as a classic.

In summary this is written as an autobiography of an English youngster, born in the year 1632, in the city of York, anxious for adventure against his family's advice. He sets upon the sea to satisfy his adventure yearnings. He endures some hardships, some enslavement, and some fortune obtaining a plantation in South America. To enhance his fortune he voyages to find laborers to work on his plantation, slaves. (He had been a slave to moslems for some years during his adventures, this isn't a controversial point in this 1600s novel)

During his voyage he is shipwrecked and is the sole survivor on a deserted island for some 27 years when circumstances change to allow him to return to England. There after are some other minor adventures, re-obtaining his properties and monies he had entrusted to others before he vanished at sea.

The meat of the novel is his adventures as a sole survivor on a deserted island.
