Daniel Defoe. Used. Very good, slight wear around the edges of the cover.
Robinson Crusoe is a novel written by Daniel Defoe, first published in 1719. It tells the story of a man named Robinson Crusoe who is shipwrecked on a deserted island in the Caribbean. After surviving the crash, Crusoe must learn how to survive on the island with limited resources. Over the years, he builds a shelter, grows food, and learns to live independently.
The novel focuses on themes like self-reliance, survival, and the human desire for freedom. Crusoe spends 28 years on the island, during which he faces challenges such as isolation, loneliness, and the occasional threat from wild animals and hostile natives. Eventually, Crusoe rescues a man he names Friday, who becomes his companion and helps him on the island.
At its core, Robinson Crusoe is about man's struggle to survive and adapt to the harshest of circumstances, as well as his desire for redemption and personal growth. The book has been seen as one of the first English novels and has had a lasting impact on literature and popular culture.
