The book ”Robinson Crusoe” by Daniel Defoe talks about
the extraordinary adventures of the main character - Robinson Crusoe.
The action of the novel takes place in England in
seventeenth century. The author shows the hero as a boy fascinated by sailing
who against the wishes of his parents decided to become a sailor. His passion
is so strong that he decides together with an old friend to go to the sea
expedition, without asking parents for permission. The novel tells the story of
Robinson living alone on a desert island, his struggle with nature and
adversities after the rescue of the marintime disaster. His resourcefulness,
determination, ability to get along in a completely unfamiliar conditions, his
incredible adventures are described live and interesting. Of particular note
are the colourful descriptions of wildlife, they allow for a while to find my
thoughts in that climate.
In addition to descriptions of the existence of
objects, the author weaves a novel thread friendship that develops between the
main character and a native from the island. That makes this story even more
interesting. Interpreting it today, you can be found here as a dialogue between
two civilizations. Robinson - as the representative of the developed part of
society and Friday - a simple man of the jungle, eating with hands and did not
speak the seventeenth-century creations of contemporary civilization.
The story is very rough, does not allow the reader to
get bored language, which is written, is approachable and does not pose
difficulties understanding the text.
In my opinion, Daniel Defoe’s novel is a very nice and
interesting to read, full of exciting adventures. It contains both colourful
descriptions of nature, as well as the main characters. This story is very
role-playing.
This novel, due to its optimistic nature, the praise
of human reason and experience, deserves special attention.
I recommend this book which is really interesting and
addictive.
