Robinson Crusoe Robinson has lived on the island for 28 years. Robinson was born in a respectable merchant family, eager to sail and bent on seeing something overseas. He went to London without telling his parents, where he bought some fake beads and toys to do business in Africa.

On the fourth voyage, the ship encountered a storm on the way, and all the companions on board were killed. Only Robinson survived and drifted to a desert island alone. He made a raft from the mast of the sunken ship, transported the food, clothes, guns and ammunition from the ship to the shore again and again, and set up a tent on the hillside to settle down. Until 28 years, a British ship docked near the island, and the sailors on board rebelled and abandoned the captain and other three people on the island. Robinson and the help captain subdued the rebellious sailors, took back the ship and returned to England.

Robinson's character prototype.

Robinson Crusoe is based on alexander selkirk's real experience on a desert island. 1In April 704, Selkirk defected at sea and was abandoned by the captain on a small island named Masajie in the Juan Fernandez Islands, which is more than 900 kilometers away from the coast of Chile. Four years and four months later, he was found and rescued by the navigator.

At that time, selkirk had forgotten the human language and turned into a savage completely. Inspired by this incident, Defoe conceived the story of Robinson.
