Summary "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe is a novel written in the early 18th century. The story recounts the life of the protagonist, Robinson Crusoe, who embarks on a sea voyage against his family's wishes, driven by a desire for adventure and wealth. This decision sets him on a path filled with misfortunes, resulting in his eventual shipwreck and solitary survival on a deserted island. The tale explores themes of survival, perseverance, and the human spirit's resilience. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Robinson's family background and his rebellious nature. A young man who yearns for adventure despite his father's counsel to remain in the safety of a stable life, Crusoe ultimately resolves to leave home. The narrative quickly transitions into his experiences at sea, capturing his initial excitement and subsequent terror as he confronts the brutal reality of maritime life. These early passages lay the groundwork for Robinson's transformation and the trials he will face against the elements, setting the stage for his subsequent journey of survival and self-discovery.
