The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe — Daniel Defoe

Robinson Crusoe is a classic novel by Daniel Defoe (1719) about a sailor marooned on a deserted island who survives through labor and ingenuity.

Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, published in 1719, is one of the first English-language novels. Written in the first person, it tells the story of Robinson Crusoe — a sailor from York who is shipwrecked near a deserted island.

Over 28 years of solitude, the hero builds his dwelling, cultivates the land, domesticates animals, and keeps a diary. His encounter with the native man Friday opens a new chapter of island life. The novel became a symbol of human resilience, labor, and self-reliance, spawning an entire literary genre — the Robinsonade.
