He is quite a guy , isn’t him?
Speaking of his writing style, firstly , we have to admit that he is a good story teller, he has a gift for organizing minute details in such a vivid way that his stories could be both credible and fascinating.
His sentence are sometimes short , crisp and plain , and sometimes long and rambling, which leave on his reader an impression of casual narration. His language is smooth, easy, colloquial and mostly vernacular.
There is nothing artificial in his language , it is common English at its best.
Robinson Crusoe, an adventure story very much in the spirit of the time, is universally considered his best writing work. as a matter of fact, Robison is in the spirit of neoclassic at that time, he is a real hero, a typical eighteenth-century middl-class man.
