Fiction
Widely regarded as the first English novel, Daniel Defoe’s
Robinson Crusoe is one of the most popular and influential
adventure stories of all time. This classic tale of
shipwreck and survival on an uninhabited island was an
instant success when first published in 1719 and has
inspired countless imitations. In his own words, Robinson Crusoe tells of the terrible
storm that drowned all his shipmates and left him marooned
on a deserted island. Forced to overcome despair, doubt,
and self-pity, he struggles to create a life for himself in
the wilderness. From practically nothing, Crusoe
painstakingly learns how to make pottery, grow crops,
domesticate livestock, and build a house. His many
adventures are recounted in vivid detail, including a
fierce battle with cannibals and his rescue of Friday, the
man who becomes his trusted companion. Full of enchanting detail and daring heroics, Robinson
Crusoe is a celebration of courage, patience, ingenuity,
and hard work.
