Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe

Description

Robinson Crusoe is a book by Daniel Defoe, first published in 1719. It tells the story of Robinson Crusoe, an independent young man who ignores advice to stay at home and instead pursues a life at sea. After a series of misfortunes, he is shipwrecked on a remote tropical island and must learn to survive completely alone. What follows is a detailed and realistic account of resourcefulness, self-reliance, and the human instinct to endure in the face of hardship. Crusoe gradually learns to build shelter, grow food, and tame the landscape that once threatened him. The novel explores themes of isolation, faith, providence, and the moral lessons that hardship can teach. His long years on the island are marked by physical struggle and spiritual reflection, as he looks back on the choices that led him there. Eventually Crusoe encounters Friday, a native man he rescues and befriends, and the story deepens into one of cross-cultural contact, companionship, and courage. Their developing relationship forms the emotional heart of the book, as both men adapt to a way of life unimaginable at the story’s beginning. Written in vivid, journal-like detail, this survival adventure remains a cornerstone of classic literature and one of the earliest examples of the English novel.
