Daniel Defoe describes the amazing adventures of Robinson Crusoe, who lived on an uninhabited island for twenty-eight years. He got into a shipwreck, as a result of which the whole crew was killed, and he was thrown onto the land. Rejoicing that he was alive, Robinson with horror understands his position. The first night on the island he spent on a tree. In the morning, when the storm died down, he saw his ship, built a raft and transported everything to his island. Before him there was a task - to survive! He learned to live and survive, build a home, cook his own food, make clothes, even be treated. Every day he kept notes in his diary, describing everything that is happening on the island. The most cherished dream of Robinson is to build a boat and get to the mainland. Once he saw a footprint of a bare foot on the sand, so he has an assistant, Friday, who tells him that the cannibals live with his fellow tribesmen, and together with Robinson they decide to save them. After numerous adventures Robinson is on a ship that agreed to deliver it to England. June 11, 1686 his twenty-eight-year journey ended.
