Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe that was first
published in 1719. Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is
a fictional autobiography of the title character (whose real name is Robinson
Kreutznaer)—a castaway who spends 28 years on a remote tropical island near
Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers before being rescued.
Robinson Crusoe is an adventure
novel that is enormously popular particularly among young readers. The parts of
the story dealing with ship wreckage, mutiny, pirates and cannibals will surely
fascinate the young and old alike. The book tells you a great deal of
loneliness and how a man survives on an island with no human inhabitants. The
major part of the book shows us how Robinson copes with hardship and overcomes
his shortcomings thereby leaning to appreciate his strange life. The original
book is a little difficult to read with its weird sentence structure; other
than that it is a pleasant novel.
