Book Description:
Robinson Crusoe is Daniel Defoe’s classic tale of survival, self-reliance, and the human spirit. When Crusoe is shipwrecked on a remote island, he must learn to endure nature’s challenges and build a life from nothing. With only his wits, limited supplies, and unshakable determination, he transforms isolation into opportunity.
As years pass, Crusoe confronts loneliness, danger, and the question of faith — until a chance encounter with the mysterious Friday changes everything. Inspired by real-life castaway accounts, Robinson Crusoe is more than an adventure story; it’s a pioneering novel of personal transformation and resilience, and one of the foundational works of English literature.
