Features: Have you ever been alone for a long time? Could you live alone on a deserted island for many years? Could you build a house for yourself, learn to grow crops and make bread, and learn to sew clothes for yourself with animal hides? Robinson Crusoe was tired of the quiet life at home in England. He decided to become a sailor and travel the world. He had many exciting adventures and boarded a ship bound from Brazil to Africa in 1695. One day, a terrible storm broke out. The ship began to break apart, and Crusoe and his friends immediately fought against the angry sea for survival. All his friends died, but only Crusoe survived and reached land. He found himself in a strange, desolate land—alive, but alone on a small island, with no food, no ship, and no way to escape. The next 27 years he would spend living there.
