Abstract

The novel, Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, written by Daniel
Defoe, was published in 1719 and immediately became a bestseller. The book had
many editions and the illustrations of the main characters, Robinson Crusoe and
Friday, changed throughout the times. This article intends to discuss these different
images and their interpretations, considering that Defoe’s narrative evokes a
naturalized relationship between the colonialist and the colonized.
