The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
"The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe is a novel first published in 1719. After ignoring his parents' wishes, young Robinson Crusoe pursues a life at sea, only to be shipwrecked on a remote tropical island. Stranded alone for 28 years, he must survive using salvaged tools and his own ingenuity. He faces solitude, builds shelter, grows crops, and eventually discovers cannibals visiting his island. When he rescues a
prisoner he names Friday, Crusoe gains a companion—and perhaps a chance at rescue. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
