A violent storm at sea destroys Robinson Crusoe's ship. He alone survives and is cast ashore on a deserted island. Crusoe must summon all his strength and intelligence to survive and flourish against impossible odds. This is an amazing tale of a young man who overcomes loneliness, tames wild animals, battles ferocious cannibals and dangerous mutineers in a twenty-four year struggle to stay alive!
Cast away! When young Robinson Crusoe refuted his father’s wishes, choosing to be an adventurer at sea rather than studying Law, little did he realise that life as he knew it, would change forever. Washed up on a deserted island after a violent storm at sea, Robinson is left all alone with the ship’s dog and a few supplies. Will Robinson Crusoe be able to survive on the Island? Were all these years of toil and caution in vain? Who is the savage, Friday? Will he help Crusoe or finish him? Read it all in the fascinating pages of this eternal classic.
