Historia
Jules Verne achieved a triumph when his imagination, fired by Rudolph Wyss’ The Swiss Family Robinson was impelled to carry the story a step farther in The Castaways of the Flag. An island was ever his spiritual home; and no one was ever happier upon one. The Castaways of the Flag is a satisfactory sequel to The Swiss Family Robinson because it is the production of Jules Verne, an original genius, set in motion by Rudolph Wyss. Wherever The Swiss Family Robinson is heard, The Castaways of the Flag should also be heard.

Young nobleman d’Artagnan has arrived in Paris intent on joining the guardians of King Louis XIII. He befriends the regiment’s most formidable musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, and together they unite in their commitment to uphold justice. Soon, a royal indiscretion thrusts them into an audacious escapade of courtly intrigue, thwarted romance, and daring rescue. But it’s the Machiavellian schemes of a powerful enemy and the wicked seductions of an ingenious female spy that will be their greatest challenges.

Historia
Millions of people have thrilled to the adventure of young Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver since the publication of Treasure Island in 1883. It has been dramatized countless times since its appearance. Treasure maps marked with an X, schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and peglegged sailors with parrots on their shoulders: All these stereotypes of the buccaneer tale were the invention of R. L. Stevenson. But make no mistake about it...this novel is a masterpiece of plot development, character study, and sheer writing skill.

Historia
The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal, a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Here Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss.

Auckland Island is a godforsaken place in the middle of the Southern Ocean, 285 miles south of New Zealand. With year-round freezing rain and howling winds, it is one of the most forbidding places in the world. To be shipwrecked there means almost certain death. In 1864, Captain Thomas Musgrave and his crew of four aboard the schooner Grafton wreck on the southern end of the island. Utterly alone in a dense coastal forest, plagued by stinging blowflies and relentless rain, Captain Musgrave inspires his men to take action.

Reseñas editoriales
Narrator Tom Aaron gives an accessible performance of this timeless classic, and his voice flows easily as Robinson Crusoe tells the story of the shipwreck that leaves him stranded on a Caribbean island for several years. Aaron adds youthfulness and vigor to Crusoe's recollections of his adventures: from his encounters with cannibals to his rescue of other shipwrecked sailors with the help of his native servant, Friday. Robinson's tales are familiar to generations by now, and Aaron shares them with zest and earnestness.

More adventures, more cringes
After listening to the original Robinson Crusoe volume, I decided to listen to the sequel as well. Tom Aaron does a competent job narrating it, although I struggled at first with his American accent, after the mellifluous British tones of Simon Vance and John Lee.
In some ways, the story is just as adventurous as the original. Crusoe goes back down to the sea and this time covers even more territory. He revisits his old island, where a small colony of Spanish and English settlers, with some natives, has begun to thrive. A large part of the first half of the book is taken up with the story of this colony in Crusoe's absence. These are, for the most part, the people Crusoe left behind when he was rescued, and as such it ties up one of the major loose ends from the original.
From there, Crusoe continues to the East Indies, mostly as a merchant, but also as an insatiably curious traveller (and sometimes a tone-deaf cultural ambassador). He visits the Bay of Tonkin in what is now Vietnam; he goes to China, visits Nanking and Peking, and begins a massive trek across Russia to the port of Arkangel.
One of the products Crusoe is carrying in his hold is, of course, opium. Wars were fought, many years later, between China and various European powers over this: China objected to the opium trade because of its degrading effect on society; Europe insisted on being allowed to continue it. In many ways Crusoe was (unfortunately) a man of his times, but in this respect he was (unfortunately) ahead of it. He sells his vast cargo of opium to a Japanese merchant, relieving himself of numerous aspersions on this "cruel race" in the process. (Bridget Jones's mother would have been proud.)
In his trek across Russia, Crusoe is horrified to witness the "demon worship" of Tartars, who bow down before an idol. Rather than trying to persuade them of their "error," he gathers a party for a midnight raid on the village, packs the head of the idol with gunpowder, and sets it on fire. A priest and several others who are nearby are tied up and forced to watch the desecration of their sacred object. The trek across Russia is then spiced up a bit as thousands of Tartars pursue the marauding party, seeking revenge. Crusoe and his companions escape by a couple of clever ruses.
Friday, unfortunately, dies fairly early in the book. I guess that qualifies as a spoiler, but you probably should know that going in.
Despite its flaws, The Further Adventures is a pretty good listen. As in the first book, Defoe is able to create a surprisingly strong sense of reality: it's easy to forget you're reading fiction rather than an actual memoir. Crusoe himself feels like a real person, impetuous and given to anger (and racism), but always ready to learn something new.

Great travelog!
I had no idea that Robinson Crusoe had more of a life after his first island adventure.
Here he actually revisits his old home in the Carribean, and eventually travels around the world.
The detail Daniel Defoe describes in his travels seem totally real, so real that I have to remind myself that they are fiction.
Here, we have a travelog that is very interesting and written in classic picturesque English, meaning every line evokes a clear picture of the events.
The author's humanity is clearly evident in this book.

Painful narration
I really wanted to listen and like this after listening to the first book. However the narration is so boring Zzzz and painful I couldn't continue. No voice inflection, no passion, no energy.. so disappointed.
