Robinson Crusoe, a novel by Daniel Defoe, follows the adventures of a young Englishman who defies his parents’ wishes and sets out to sea. After several voyages and misfortunes, he is shipwrecked alone on a remote island near the coast of South America. Over 28 years, Crusoe ingeniously survives by salvaging goods from the wreck, building shelter, farming, and taming animals. He grapples with isolation, faith, and self-reliance until he rescues a captive from cannibals, naming him Friday, who becomes his companion. Eventually, they escape the island when a ship arrives, allowing Crusoe to return to civilisation as a changed man.
