The life and strange surprizing adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, mariner

Book • 1719
The novel follows Robinson Crusoe, born Robinson Kreutznaer, who defies his family's wishes and sets out to sea.

After a series of misadventures, including being captured by pirates and enslaved, he is shipwrecked on a desert island near Trinidad.

There, he survives for 28 years, documenting his experiences in a journal.

He encounters cannibals, captives, and mutineers, and eventually befriends a native named Friday.

The story is a blend of adventure, spiritual reflection, and practical survival, and is believed to have been influenced by the real-life experiences of Alexander Selkirk.
