About the book

Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe tells the story of an adventurous English sailor who is shipwrecked on a remote island and forced to survive alone for many years. Crusoe gradually constructs a shelter, grows food, raises animals and creates an ordered existence from the limited resources available to him. His isolation is eventually interrupted by the discovery that other people visit the island, leading to his famous encounter with Friday. Combining adventure with reflections on faith, civilisation, colonialism and self-reliance, the novel became one of the most influential works of English fiction.
