Features: Robinson Crusoe is tired of the peaceful life in England and decides to become a seafarer, traveling around the world. He has many exciting adventures and boards a ship bound from Brazil to Africa in 1659. One day, a terrible storm hits, and the sailboat begins to break apart. Crusoe and his friends immediately fight against the angry sea for survival. All his friends die, leaving Crusoe the only one who survives and reaches land. He finds himself on a strange deserted island, alone and helpless, with no food, no boat, and no way to escape. The next twenty-seven years will be spent living there.
