Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Institut für Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Experiencing the Exotic: Oroonoko and Robinson Crusoe , language: English, abstract: Robinson Crusoe, written by Daniel Defoe, is one of the most read books in the world.
