Crusoniana, Or Truth Versus Fiction

Crusoniana, Or Truth Versus Fiction: Elucidated In A History Of The Islands Of Juan Fernandez is a book written by Thomas Sutcliffe in 1843. The book is a historical account of the Juan Fernandez Islands, which are located off the coast of Chile. Sutcliffe aims to distinguish between fact and fiction in the history of the islands, which have been the subject of many myths and legends. He provides a detailed description of the islands' geography, flora and fauna, as well as their history from the time of their discovery by the Spanish in the 16th century to the present day. Sutcliffe also includes accounts of the famous castaway Alexander Selkirk, who was marooned on the islands for four years and served as the inspiration for Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Juan Fernandez Islands and the myths and legends that surround them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
