Synopsis "The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe (in English)"

Robinson Crusoe is a famous novel by Daniel Defoe, first printed in 1719. Defoe's first long work of fiction presented most eternal character in English literature is Robinson Crusoe, a real English seamen who is shipwrecked on an island for 28 years. Crusoe is the story's narrator. He expresses how, as a headstrong young man, he neglected his family's advice and left his cosy middle-class home in England to go to sea. His first experience on a ship almost kills him, he is sweeped ashore on a deserted island after the shipwreck but he persists, and a journey to Guinea made him both a sailor and a merchant. An ordinary man fighting to survive in exceptional circumstances, Robinson Crusoe struggles with fate and the nature of God. He is a confidant man who uses his practical intelligence and ability to survive on the deserted island. The book is presented as an autobiography of the title character. This story shows survival is the most important prize for the last majority of living being called people of the Earth.
