Synopsis:
Robinson Crusoe book regarded as the first English novel, is one of the most popular and influential adventure stories of all time. Based on the actual experiences of Alexander Selkirk, a sailor, a young Englishman, who defies his father's wishes and runs off to sea to seek his fortune.
In his own words, Robinson Crusoe narrates how a violent storm drowned all his fellow sailors and left him stranded on a seemingly deserted island. He was forced to overcome self-pity and despair and struggles to create life for himself in this frightful wilderness. From practically nothing, Crusoe painstakingly teaches himself how to fashion a pot, grow crops, bake bread and build a canoe. His many adventures are described in a classic manner, including a ferocious battle with cannibals and his rescue of Friday, who becomes a trusted companion and fellow survivor. This book is a must read, available at reasonable price.
