Madagascar: Or Robert Drury's Journal is a book written by Daniel Defoe and published in 1897. It is a first-hand account of the experiences of Robert Drury, a young sailor who was shipwrecked on the island of Madagascar in the late 17th century. The book is based on Drury's journal, which he kept during his captivity on the island. It provides a detailed description of the island's geography, flora, and fauna, as well as the customs and traditions of the Malagasy people. Drury's journal also documents his experiences as a slave, including his interactions with his captors and his eventual escape from captivity. The book is considered an important historical document, as it provides insight into the early European encounters with Madagascar and the slave trade that was prevalent in the region at the time. Defoe's adaptation of Drury's journal includes additional commentary and analysis, providing a broader context for Drury's experiences. Overall, Madagascar: Or Robert Drury's Journal is a fascinating and insightful account of one man's survival and endurance in a foreign land.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
