Summary "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe is a novel written in the early 18th century. The story follows the main character, Robinson Crusoe, as he embarks on a fateful sea journey that leads to his shipwreck and subsequent survival on a deserted island. The narrative explores themes of adventure, self-reliance, and the human spirit against the backdrop of isolation and discovery. The opening of the book introduces Crusoe's background, including his family's wishes for him to pursue a stable life instead of seeking adventure on the seas. Despite his father's warnings and coaxing, Crusoe’s yearning for exploration drives him to leave home, leading him to face the harsh realities of a tempestuous sea and a shipwreck. He recounts his harrowing experience during the storm, battling seasickness and fear, before ultimately finding himself stranded on an uninhabited island, where his journey of survival begins. This segment sets the tone for Crusoe's character development and the challenges he will face in the wilderness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
