Robinson Crusoe is a novel by British writer daniel defoe. The book was first published on April 25th, 1719.
This novel was written by Defoe inspired by a true story at that time. In September 174, a Scottish sailor named alexander selkirk quarreled with the captain, who abandoned him in the Atlantic Ocean and lived on a desert island for four years and four months before being rescued by captain woodes rogers.
Defoe, based on the legendary story of Selkirk, devoted his many years' experiences at sea to the characters, and made full use of his rich imagination for literary processing, making "Robinson" not only a hero in the eyes of the middle and small bourgeoisie at that time, but also the first idealized emerging bourgeois in western literature.
After the novel was published for many years, it has been translated into many languages and widely circulated around the world, and has been adapted into movies and TV series for many times.
