From the translator's words in the introduction 'The first edition of Robinson Crusoe appeared in 1719, and since then has published in the book hundreds of expenses and translations in all languages of Europe. In Hebrew, too, the book is not new today. The first works according to a German translation, and after that a free translation was translated into German by Yitzhak Romesh, named 'kur oni', but now there has not been a complete and responsible translation from the original.This translation was done out of the nearly complete expense of Ward Locke and Comp.'
