About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

Good book. The plot is interesting too.

[Adam Hardy Begtrup · Rating 4 out of 5]

Har altid elsket Robinson Crusoe, og det var en fornøjelse at genlæse den.
Selve romanen er jo dejlig, finurlig og spændende. Der er et klart handlingsforløb, spændende og logiske detaljer og fint psykologi bagved, såsom at Robinson hele tiden på øen siger “hvis bare jeg lige havde dette, så kunne jeg bo her resten af mit liv”, hvorefter han opnår det (eller noget tilsvarende), for at derefter ændre sit behov og repetere samme tur.

Jeg husker den som værende bedre, men det var stadig en dejlig bog. Selve oversættelsen var lettere mangelfuld, men udover det var det en god oplevelse.
Kan anbefales.

In a coconut shell: Part 1: Young man leaves Yorkshire home, pisses off dad ("but Dad, I don't want to be a lawyer"), joins a sailing vessel, gets enslaved by Moors, escapes with the help of a moorish boy, eventually sells said boy to another sailing captain who brings him to Brazil. Part 2: Start a plantation in South America, shipwreck [30 sep 1659] on an island (lone survivor) [whilst on a slaving expedition], build a fort/plantation/stockyard/boat, rescue another human being from cannibals, enslave him so you teach him about God and be your beckon companion, and make an onerous journal of every pea you planted; Part 3: kill some more cannibals, rescue a captain from a mutineered ship, re-take the vessel from the mutineers, sail home, make sure everybody pays you the righteous money from your massive plantation that you started 30 years ago [they thought you were dead]; oh, and make some treacherous wintertime alpine journey over the Pyrenees and kill some bears and wolves and other things.

One of my favorite books. I've read it at least four times. Could read it again. Great adventure story asking all the existential questions.

It's an abridged version for kids. Hence, was a breezy read.
