Features: The story background of "Robinson Crusoe" is as follows: In the 18th century, a sailor on an English ship had a conflict with the captain during the voyage and was abandoned on an island. On the completely isolated island, he lived alone for more than four years before being brought back to England by a navigator. This event caused a sensation in society at the time. Daniel Defoe, who had never written any literary works and was nearly in his sixties, was greatly inspired by this incident and created the immortal masterpiece "Robinson Crusoe." "Robinson Crusoe" can be divided into three parts. The first part is about Robinson's three voyages away from home, where he bought a plantation in Brazil. The second part, which is the main body of the novel, is about Robinson's experiences on the deserted island. The third part tells the story of his encounter with a wolf pack while traveling from Portugal to England by land after returning from the deserted island. The characteristics of Robinson, this typical character, are fully developed in the second part, so this part is the essence of the entire book. In the mid-17th century, Robinson Crusoe was born into a middle-class family in England. He could have lived a peaceful and prosperous life according to his father's arrangements, relying on his family's substantial wealth. However, Robinson, who was determined to venture out, became a sailor on a journey filled with danger and excitement, sailing across the turbulent and perilous seas. Eventually, he spent more than 20 years living on the deserted island.
