Description

Work visible: a rectangular paperback book, standing on a wooden surface, in front of a blurred bookshelf in the background. The cover features a color illustration of a bearded man in mismatched clothes, holding a rifle, sitting behind wooden stakes. In the upper left corner, a red and white insert mentions "CLUB 10/15". In the upper right corner, the title "Les aventures de ROBINSON CRUSOE" is printed in black capital letters on a light blue background. Below the title, it states: "d'après Daniel DEFOE, Texte adapté par Claire LAURY".

The cover predominantly features pale blue and earthy tones, with a graphic style typical of popular editions from the mid to late 20th century. The central illustration occupies a large part of the front, giving the work a narrative and dynamic appearance. The typography of the title and the "CLUB 10/15" logo suggests a children's or leisure library edition, probably published between the 1970s and 1980s, with no explicit year mentioned on the visible side.

No major wear, stains, or tears are visible on the front; the cover appears to be in generally good condition, with slightly blunted corners but no apparent structural defects. The printing remains clear, both for the illustration and the text. The spine of the book is not visible in this photo, and no details of the back or interior pages are observable.

The mention "texte adapté par Claire Laury" indicates that this is an abridged or rewritten version of Daniel Defoe's famous adventure novel, intended for a young or adolescent audience. The graphic style and editorial approach are typical of vintage educational or leisure reading collections.

The work is offered as seen in the photo, with no other accessories or visible ancillary elements.

Condition

Did you know? The character of Robinson Crusoe, created by Daniel Defoe in 1719, is considered one of the first adventure novels in Western literature. Many adapted editions emerged in the 20th century, particularly for young people, helping this story live on far beyond its first publication.
