Robinson Crusoe is a novel considered by some literary historians to be the first novel of English literature. Years later, I re-read the full text of this novel, which many of us know from childhood, and I can say that I enjoyed it very much.
It tells the story of Robinson Crusoe, the youngest son of a middle-class family of German origin living in England, who embarked on his journeys with the dream of traveling the world, despite all his father's objections, and the events he encountered during this journey, when the ship he was traveling on sank and he had to live alone for 28 years on a deserted island. a masterpiece.
It is beautifully explained, explaining in the best possible way that people can achieve anything if they want, explaining the underlying text of civilization and highly developed societies, and from which many lessons can be learned.
When you read it, you may get the feeling of a gripping adventure novel that you won't think much about at first, just like I did, but if you think about it a little, you will understand how full of a work it is.
A man left alone on an island kills savages to survive, and then debates and questions himself about whether what he did was right or not; On the other hand, his perspective on faith, questioning God, and actually believing in God and praying to him out of necessity.
In addition to presenting us the inner voice of a lonely man, Robinson Crusoe also presents the foundations of the British colonial understanding. Do not consider this book as a children's book. If you want to understand the imperialist logic, you should read this book. It is a very valuable book in terms of adventure books, but I can say that I do not like how racism and slavery are portrayed as normal.
