Features: Robinson Crusoe was inspired by a real story. At that time, a Scottish sailor had an argument with the captain and was abandoned on an island by the captain. Four years later, he was rescued and returned to England. The sailor did not accomplish anything remarkable on the island, but the Robinson created by Defoe is a representative of the emerging bourgeoisie, an idealized hero. This book tells the story of a 17th-century English sailor, Robinson Crusoe, who was not content with the mediocre and comfortable life of the middle class and went to sea many times for business. On a journey to Africa to transport black slaves, he encountered a shipwreck at sea and was stranded on an island. With an indomitable will, relying on his own wisdom and hard labor, he sought food, built houses, made tools, raised livestock, tilled the land, and overcame various difficulties, finally returning to civilized society. Additionally, the book comes with a VCD for readers to enjoy the classic. The most unforgettable part of the book is Robinson's experience on the island. The author uses vivid and realistic details to describe the fictional scene, making it feel as if the reader is there, giving the story a strong sense of realism. The language is natural and fluent, with easy-to-understand text. The entire work seems to be telling the reader a wonderful story. Even after more than two centuries, this work still maintains great charm.
