Robinson Crusoe Daniel Defoe
Robinson Crusoe runs away to sea, is shipwrecked in a storm, and cast ashore on an uninhabited island where he leads a solitary existence for twenty-four years. He meets the difficulties of a primitive existence with wonderful ingenuity and tenacity. Eventually he meets another human being, a young native whom he saves from death at the hands of cannibals. He calls him Man Friday and makes him his companion and servant. Crusoe and Friday share in a variety of adventures, including a fierce battle with cannibals, culminating in their recapturing a mutinous ship and returning to England.
Defoe’s novel is based partly on the real-life experiences of Scottish sailor Alexander Selkirk. His story of human endurance in an exotic, faraway land exerts a timeless appeal. The first important English novel, Robinson Crusoe has taken its rightful place among the great works of Western civilization.
