Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe

Book reviewed by Zubin Turakhia, Class VI A


Robinson Crusoe is the son of a rich merchant. He has a strong desire to be a sailor. Despite his family’s disapproval, he sails to sea. After staying in Brazil for four years, he is asked to go to Guinea to fetch slaves. But after a week, there is a shipwreck and he is the lone survivor on an uninhabited island. 
When he finds his ship almost in ruins near the coast, the supplies he brings from it helps him make a home with a cave and tent. After spending twenty three years on the island, he finds savages on the island, one of whom becomes his companion. He is finally rescued after twenty eight long years, by an English ship.

He revisits the island with his nephew and dies there at the age of 92 years.

I enjoyed reading this book very much and recommend it to all book lovers.
