Robinson Crusoe
Edited with an Introduction by
John Richetti
Robinson Crusoe runs away to sea
and after a number of adventures is
shipwrecked on an uninhabited island.
There he remains for twenty years with
his friendly cannibal servant, Man Friday,
until he is rescued and returned to
England. This tale is of considerable moral
significance; it sets up tension between
God’s purpose and Crusoe’s very human
impulses.

Anti-Oedipus
Capitalism and Schizophrenia
Preface by Michel Foucault
Introduction by Mark Seem
Translated by Robert Hurley, Mark Seem,
and Helen R. Lane
When it first appeared in France, Anti-
Oedipus was hailed as a masterpiece by
some and “a work of heretical madness”
by others. Gilles Deleuze and Félix
Guattari propose that Western society’s
innate herd instinct has allowed the
government, the media, and even the
principles of economics to take advantage
of each person’s unwillingness to be cut
off from the group.
