Book summary

The only survivor of a shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe is washed up on a desert island. With what he saves from the wreck, he builds a shelter, learns to grow grain and keep goats, and counts the days by cutting notches in a post. One day, after years alone, he finds the print of a bare foot on the beach.

It is the first great survival novel, the one that inspired every castaway story since, and the name of Friday has become as famous as Robinson's.

Robinson tells his own adventure, like a diary, and the novel is easy to read in the language you are learning.
