Features: Politicians, economists, religious figures, literary historians, and literary critics from different eras can interpret Robinson Crusoe from various perspectives, but general readers, whether young or old, generally regard it only as an adventure novel for leisure. The reason this novel became popular in its time and remains enduring is not because of the praise from critics, but because it has had generations of readers worldwide. It is a world-famous classic that tells the story of a shipwrecked merchant who is stranded alone on an deserted island. He overcomes countless unexpected difficulties, relying on his strong will and the scientific knowledge he possesses, to live on the island for 28 years before finally being rescued and returning to his homeland. If there truly exists any adventure experience of ordinary people worth being made public and which would be well-received after publication, then, the editor believes, this memoir is such an adventure.
