British young Robinson likes sailing since he was a child. He left home for South America three times. One day, with great ambition to travel around the world, he bid farewell to his family, crossed the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and experienced countless dangers in his thrilling voyage. Later, the whole ship was unfortunately buried in the Pacific Ocean, and everyone on board was buried at the bottom of the sea. Only he miraculously survived and came to an uninhabited island alone.

He got the inspiration of life from the gap of despair, and Robinson, with strong personality, lived independently on the island for 28 years. He worked and lived on an isolated island, reclaimed wasteland, raised livestock, and produced rice and wheat. He kept company with loneliness year after year and overcame all kinds of difficulties that ordinary people could not overcome.

The Bible became his spiritual pillar. With amazing perseverance and tenacious labor, he built houses, harvested grain, domesticated goats and made clothes out of animal skins. He once fought bravely with wild animals and savages who ate human flesh. Later, he saved a local, called him "Friday" and took him as a servant.

With extraordinary perseverance and courage, he overcame unimaginable hardships and created a home for himself with hardworking hands.

It was not until the 28th year that an English ship came near the island that Robinson helped the captain subdue the rebellious sailors and then returned to England. At this time, his parents died, and Robinson recovered all the income from his Brazilian manor and distributed it to some people who helped him.

Creation background

Defoe lived in an era when British capitalism began to develop on a large scale. 1702 published a shortcut to eliminate different sects, satirizing the government's religious policy, and was arrested and sentenced three times.

After he was released from prison, he worked as a newspaper editor and wrote many political and economic pamphlets. He was arrested three times for his speech. 17 19, Defoe published his first novel Robinson Crusoe.

This novel is based on alexander selkirk's real experience on a desert island. According to the records of the British magazine at that time,1in April 704, Selkirk rebelled at sea and was abandoned by the captain on a small island named Masajie in Juan Fernandez Islands, 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. However, in the process of novel creation, Defoe created the image of Robinson with the enterprising spirit of the emerging bourgeoisie and the colonial spirit of18th century, based on his own impressions and feelings of the times.
