Features: Robinson Crusoe was written by Daniel Defoe, inspired by a real story. At that time, a Scottish sailor had a dispute with his captain and was abandoned on an island, where he was rescued four years later and returned to England. The sailor did not accomplish anything remarkable on the island, but the Robinson Defoe created is a representative of the emerging bourgeoisie, an idealized hero. What is unforgettable throughout the book is Robinson's experience on the island. The author uses vivid and realistic details to describe the fictional scenario, making it feel as if the reader is present, giving the story a strong sense of realism. The language of the work is natural and fluent, with easy-to-understand text, as if the entire book is telling the reader an exciting story. Over two centuries later, this work still retains its great charm. The story is told in a humble and serious tone, reflecting the practical application of religion in specific matters. The wise can take this as an example to educate others, warning us to uphold and promote God's wisdom in any situation, allowing everything to happen naturally without scheming to change the course of events with human effort.
