About this ebook
September 1, 1651. With a passion and longing for the sea, Robinson Crusoe sets on a sea voyage, much against the wishes of his family, only to survive a shipwreck.
But he doesn’t give up. And after a series of adventurous journeys, eight years later on the same day of September, Crusoe sets sail again. Caught in a sea storm, he is washed ashore on a deserted island after the shipwreck.
The sole human survivor, along with a dog and two cats, Crusoe builds his life with whatever is available around, and begins to contemplate and consider his situation. “Evil: I am cast upon a horrible, desolate island, void of all hope of rey. Good: But I am alive; and not drowned, as all my ship's company were.”
Will his adventures end here, or is there more in store for him?

With simple characters and an exceptional interpretation of life, it went on to become a literary masterpiece. The novel has undergone various adaptions and continues to remain an epic.
Optimized for digital reading, this ebook offers a smooth, immersive experience on any device.
