“Robinson Crusoe,” though, remains something truly special: It belongs in that small category of classics — others are “The Odyssey” and “Don Quixote” — that we feel we’ve read even if we haven’t. Retellings for children and illustrations, like those by N.C. Wyeth, have made its key scenes universally recognizable.... A classic is a book that generations have found worth returning to and arguing with. Vividly written, replete with paradoxes and troubling cultural attitudes, revealing a deep strain of supernaturalism beneath its realist surface, “Robinson Crusoe” is just such a classic and far more than a simple adventure story for kids. A friend of mine, a Welsh blacksmith, was twenty-five years old and could neither read nor write, when he heard a chapter of Robinson read aloud in a farm kitchen. Up to that moment he had sat content, huddled in his ignorance, but he left that farm another man. There were day-dreams, it appeared, divine day-dreams, written and printed and bound, and to be bought for money and enjoyed at pleasure. Down he sat that day, painfully learned to read Welsh, and returned to borrow the book. It had been lost, nor could he find another copy but one that was in English. Down he sat once more, learned English, and at length, and with entire delight, read Robinson... It was the scene of Crusoe at the wreck, if I remember rightly, that so bewitched my blacksmith. Nor is the fact surprising. Every single article the castaway recovers from the hulk is “a joy for ever” to the man who reads of them. They are the things that should be found, and the bare enumeration stirs the blood. Crusoe has been called a kind of Protestant monk, and it is true that he turns the chance of his isolation into an anchorite’s career. The story is one of spiritual realization — almost half a lifetime spent on contemplation works profound changes, whatever the subject’s religion. We can watch Crusoe become, year by year, a better, wiser man... Robinson Crusoe may still be the greatest English novel. Surely it is written with a mastery that has never been surpassed. It is not only as convincing as real life. It is as deep and as superficial as direct experience itself.

Men jeg må sige, at Defoes idé er nok det, der er det fremragende ved bogen og i mindre grad idéens udførelse. Der er tale om en temmelig flagrende bog, hvor Defoe nogle gange glemmer ting, han ellers har lovet at ville beskrive. Og der perioder i bogen, hvor der væves side op og side ned om især Robinsons religiøse overvejelser, som man allerede en eller flere gange før har fået redegjort for.
Der var tidspunkter, hvor jeg var tæt på at opgive men besluttede mig for at fortsætte - og jeg har da sprunget en del sider over i de mest vævende passager. Alligevel har det taget en uge for mig at komme igennem de lidt over 300 sider.
Alt i alt: Forståelig klassikerstatus - men ikke nogen særlig god bog. Den præger for meget præg af det bestillingsarbejde, som den faktisk var. (
