Description
A young man weighs two very different options for his future at the start of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. Robinson can either settle down to a comfortable career in law or set sail for faraway places, as he passionately longs to do. Although his family urges him to choose the safer path, Robinson cannot resist the lure of the sea. He leaves town on a merchant ship and survives a dangerous accident to enjoy success as a sailor. Inspired to continue on his quest, Robinson embarks again, although his next voyage will bring him far more adventure than even this daring young man ever bargained for. Pirates capture Robinson's ship and enslave everyone aboard. Crusoe is forced to gamble with his life in order to escape his captors. Luckily, he gets away, only to end up shipwrecked alone on a strange island. Crusoe must rely on his will, intelligence, and courage as he attempts to survive in his new surroundings. Unfriendly native inhabitants and an unexpected ally await the young adventurer as he contends with day-to-day challenges and plots his return home. Will Crusoe ever see England again? Readers are kept on edge as we relive the tale of a man who seeks the wide world and instead is forced to find himself in the face of danger and the unknown.
