THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOE ✓✓ (illustrated) ♥♥ complete with original classic illustrations Robinson Crusoe[a] (/ˈkruːsoʊ/) is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published on 25 April 1719. The first edition credited the work's protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author, leading many readers to believe he was a real person and the book a travelogue of true incidents.[1] Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is presented as an autobiography of the title character (whose birth name is Robinson Kreutznaer)-a castaway who spends 28 years on a remote tropical desert island near the coasts of Venezuela and Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued. The story has been thought to be based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived for four years on a Pacific island called "Más a Tierra", now part of Chile, which was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966.[2] Despite its simple narrative style, Robinson Crusoe was well received in the literary world and is often credited as marking the beginning of realistic fiction as a literary genre. It is generally seen as a contender for the first English novel.[3] Before the end of 1719, the book had already run through four editions, and it has gone on to become one of the most widely published books in history, spawning so many imitations, not only in literature but also in film, television and radio, that its name is used to define a genre, the Robinsonade. ★★★ Plot Story ★★★ Crusoe (the family name corrupted from the German name "Kreutznaer") set sail from Kingston upon Hull on a sea voyage in August 1651, against the wishes of his parents, who wanted him to pursue a career in law. After a tumultuous journey where his ship is wrecked in a storm, his lust for the sea remains so strong that he sets out to sea again. This journey, too, ends in disaster, as the ship is taken over by Salé pirates (the Salé Rovers) and Crusoe is enslaved by a Moor. Two years later, he escapes in a boat with a boy named Xury; a captain of a Portuguese ship off the west coast of Africa rescues him. The ship is en route to Brazil. Crusoe sells Xury to the captain. With the captain's help, Crusoe procures a plantation. Years later, Crusoe joins an expedition to bring slaves from Africa, but he is shipwrecked in a storm about forty miles out to sea on an island near the Venezuelan coast (which he calls the Island of Despair) near the mouth of the Orinoco river on 30 September 1659.[4] He observes the latitude as 9 degrees and 22 minutes north. He sees penguins and seals on his island. As for his arrival there, only he and three animals, the captain's dog and two cats, survive the shipwreck. Overcoming his despair, he fetches arms, tools and other supplies from the ship before it breaks apart and sinks. He builds a fenced-in habitat near a cave which he excavates. By making marks in a wooden cross, he creates a calendar. By using tools salvaged from the ship, and some which he makes himself, he hunts, grows barley and rice, dries grapes to make raisins, learns to make pottery and raises goats. He also adopts a small parrot. He reads the Bible and becomes religious, thanking God for his fate in which nothing is missing but human society.

The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (of York, Mariner Who lived Eight and Twenty Years all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, where in all the Men perished but Himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver'd by Pyrates) is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published in 1719 and sometimes regarded as the first novel in English. The book is a fictional autobiography of the title character, an English castaway who spends 28 years on a remote tropical island near Venezuela, encountering Native Americans, captives, and mutineers before being rescued. This device, presenting an account of supposedly factual events, is known as a "false document" and gives a realistic frame story.

Robinson Crusoe is a very long book, but the novel can, more or less, be divided into three main movements. Part I: Before the island Before landing on the island, Crusoe's father wants him to be a good middle-class boy. Crusoe, who wants nothing more than to travel on a boat, definitely disagrees with this idea. He fights against the authority of both his father and God and decides to mock both of them by going on adventures at sea. After sailing for a while, he makes a little money in trade but is later captured and enslaved off the coast of Africa. Here he befriends a young man named Xury, with whom he escapes from captivity. Crusoe is picked up by a Portuguese sailing captain and arrives in Brazil, where he buys a sugar plantation. He is doing quite well financially, but he soon becomes involved in a business to procure slaves from Africa. On the trip there he is shipwrecked and remains the only survivor on a desert island. Part II: Life on the island This part of the novel is dedicated to the time when Crusoe was alone on the island. Build three main structures: your initial shelter, your cottage on the opposite side of the island, and your weapons and ammunition in the forest. He spends his time planting corn, barley, and rice. Learn to make bread. Build furniture, weave baskets and make pots. Crusoe also raises goats and tends to his small animal family of cats, dogs, and a parrot. Most important, however, Crusoe grows stronger in his religious faith and ultimately submits to God's authority. He engages in much religious reflection and prayer. Part III: Escape from the island In the final section of the book, Crusoe sees a footprint on the shore one day and discovers that he is not actually alone on the island. There are also (gasp!) Cannibals. Crusoe struggles with the question of whether or not he should take revenge on them. Finally, he meets Friday, a native whom he can rescue from the cannibals. Crusoe teaches English on Fridays and converts him to Christianity. The two become like father and son (more or less). Friday and Crusoe also rescue a Spaniard and Friday's father from a different group of cannibals. Finally, an English motorboat full of sailors lands on the island. Crusoe learns that the men have mutinied against his captain. After Crusoe helps restore order to the ship, the men and the captain swear allegiance to Crusoe and agree to take him home. Crusoe then returns to Europe with Friday, where he makes a large amount of money from his sugar plantations. Crusoe marries and finally revisits the island in his later years. The novel ends with the promise of more adventure for him in the sequel. .

"I was born in the year 1632, in the city of York, of a good family, though not of that country, my father being a foreigner of Bremen, who settled first at Hull ...", says the protagonist at the beginning of one of the most famous novels ever written. Having been cast on shore by shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe is damned to live all alone in an uninhabited island in the middle of nowhere for more than 20 years. During this time he has to fight against himself, harsh weather conditions, - and cannibals ... The novel was first published in 1719 under the considerably longer original title: "The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner."
