A young fool runs away from wealth, security, and family love for a rough life at sea. He comes to his senses too late, alone on a tropical island-alone except for cannibals and God. Robinson Crusoe's adventure takes place on an island near the Orinoco River of Venezuela. Adjusting to the primitive conditions, he learns to make tools, shelters, bread, clothes, baskets, and canoes. More importantly, he becomes a Christian. Modern editions often leave out Crusoe's long struggle with God and his slow transformation as he studies and applies God's Word. Full-page illustrations are featured to add to your reading pleasure.
Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) served as a soldier, sold ship insurance, succeeded in the hosiery business, failed in the brick business, and worked as a political secret agent. But his main career was journalism. To support his wife and six children, he wrote over 560 books, pamphlets, and papers. He was almost sixty years old when he turned to fiction. A Scottish sailor's real-life adventures inspired him to write Robinson Crusoe (1719), which was an instant bestseller.
