| Summary |
"Robinson Crusoëus" by Joachim Heinrich Campe and Daniel Defoe is a novel written in the early 19th century. The book follows the adventurous tale of Robinson, a reckless youth driven by a desire for adventure, who ultimately faces the consequences of his choices when he finds himself shipwrecked and alone on a deserted island. Through his struggles for survival, readers witness themes of isolation, self-discovery, and resilience. The opening of "Robinson Crusoëus" introduces the main character, Robinson, who hails from Hamburg and is the youngest son of a devoted family. Despite his parents' hopes for him to adopt a responsible profession, Robinson harbors a deep desire to explore the world. After insisting on departing for London against his parents' wishes, he finds himself embroiled in disaster as a storm sinks his ship. Stranded and alone, Robinson grapples with his deep regrets for leaving his family and faces the stark reality of survival in an uncharted territory. This excerpt sets the stage for his transformation as he learns to navigate his solitude and challenges, marking the beginning of a profound journey. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
