책소개

Robinson Crusoe defies his parents' wishes and embarks on a life at sea, encountering early hardships, including shipwrecks and captivity in Sallee. After escaping with Xury, he arrives in Brazil and becomes a plantation owner. On another voyage, he is shipwrecked on a deserted island, where he salvages supplies from the wreck. Alone, he constructs a shelter and struggles with solitude while adapting to island life. He records time, learns to hunt, and develops essential survival skills. Over time, he establishes a sustainable lifestyle, domesticating goats and cultivating crops. Attempting to escape, he builds a canoe but fails, resigning himself to his fate. His life on the island gradually improves as he refines his tools, builds pottery, and learns to bake bread.

저자(글) Daniel Defoe

Daniel Defoe (1661–1731) was an English writer, journalist, and trader, best known as the author of Robinson Crusoe (1719), one of the earliest English novels. Born into a family of dissenters, he engaged in various business ventures but faced frequent financial troubles. He was also a prolific political pamphleteer, often expressing controversial opinions that led to his imprisonment.
Defoe’s works reflect his keen interest in economics, politics, and human survival, blending fiction with realism. Besides Robinson Crusoe, his other notable works include Moll Flanders (1722) and A Journal of the Plague Year (1722). His writing style combined adventure with social commentary, influencing the development of the modern novel. Despite his literary success, he struggled with debts throughout his life.
His impact on literature remains significant, as he pioneered realistic storytelling and first-person narration, shaping the English novel tradition.
