Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published on 25 April 1719. The first edition credited the work's protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author, leading many readers to believe he was a real person and the book a travelogue of true incidents. Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is presented as an autobiography of the title character (whose birth name is Robinson Kreutznaer)—a castaway who spends 28 years on a remote tropical desert island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued. The story has been thought to be based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived for four years on a Pacific island called "Más a Tierra", now part of Chile, which was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966. Despite its simple narrative style, Robinson Crusoe was well received in the literary world and is often credited as marking the beginning of realistic fiction as a literary genre. It is generally seen as a contender for the first English novel. Before the end of 1719, the book had already run through four editions, and it has gone on to become one of the most widely published books in history, spawning so many imitations, not only in literature but also in film, television and radio, that its name is used to define a genre, the Robinsonade.

Ordinarily online interviews are single session affairs or else a back-and-forth email conversation that lasts several days or weeks at most. Thus, they tend to focus on a particular body of work and present the artist’s thoughts at a discrete moment in time.

- Housing is a human right is an 8.5 x 11 inch print of an original digital illustration by Montreal artist Tricia Robinson. It is digitally printed on matte card stock. The item you receive is a physical item. This listing is for the print only and the item DOES NOT come framed. - It's not optional to ignore the housing crisis. We see Canadian and Quebec pension, labour union $$$, individual RRSPs, goddamn even homeless youth orgs ALL tied up into real estate and REITs. It's happening in our neighborhoods, across the globe. People are dying for lost and stolen housing and always in the name of and the deep rooted insatiable desire for profit. For profit housing is a stain on our world, on our society, and even culturally in our way of thinking. It's so engrained to justify actions of landlords in the name of the economy, as if it's a job and not a risk investment. A fantasy that out of any investment, this is the only one where profit stays consistent. Justifying building real estate empires off the backs of vulnerable tenants, the working class and impoverish, and displacing them is an ENTITLEMENT. As if it's their RIGHT. It has gone as far as personifying exploitative developer and property management companies as if they are TOO just an individual trying to get their bread and butter on the table. Our governments have pension money tied up in private real estate - there is no incentive to admit there is crisis and take action beyond performative legislation that takes years to implement. No institution wants to take suitable action when the end result means they financially lose. We need direct action now and we need to show up for ourselves, our neighbours, and children who ultimately will be handed off this steaming pile once we're done with it. What can we do to help? Find the housing activist groups in your neighbourhood, in your city, and in your province/state/whatever. There are people on the ground fighting hard and have been for a long time. They need more hands, more voices, more solidarity and more money. Share your resources, share your precious time. Let's protect each other. We deserve this ❤️ - If you like this pro-union art, check out other work by Tricia Robinson here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/triciarobinsonshop/?section_id=15771857 - Signed on the back by the artist, Tricia Robinson. - Shipped from Montreal, Quebec Canada.

About The Element A New York Times- bestselling breakthrough book about talent, passion, and achievement from the one of the world’s leading thinkers on creativity and self-fulfillment. The Element is the point at which natural talent meets personal passion. When people arrive at the Element, they feel most themselves and most inspired and achieve at their highest levels. With a wry sense of humor, Ken Robinson looks at the conditions that enable us to find ourselves in the Element and those that stifle that possibility. Drawing on the stories of a wide range of people, including Paul McCartney, Matt Groening, Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, and Bart Conner, he shows that age and occupation are no barrier and that this is the essential strategy for transforming education, business, and communities in the twenty-first century. Also available from Ken Robinson is Imagine If, a call to action that challenges and empowers us to reimagine our world and our systems for the better, through a compilation of Sir Ken’s key messages and philosophies.
