Robinson Crusoe is the tale of a man who became shipwrecked on an island and lived there almost four decades. He survived alone until saving a man from cannibals, and who became his servant whom he named Friday.

After many years of assuming that Robinson Crusoe was a rollicking boys own yarn of shipwreck and adventure I was immensely surprised to find that there is much more to this novel than that. It is very much a product of its time concerned with questions of survival, man's relationships with nature (think Thomas Hobbes) and with religious beliefs.

This story expresses the needs and importance on how to survive on a deserted island.

A bit of a slow starter, but worth sticking with it. The main portion is a fascinating depiction of solitary survival, eventually leading to some intense interactions with cannibals. Survival literature at its finest and most descriptive.
