Summary "Robinson Crusoe (I/II)" by Daniel Defoe is a novel written in the early 18th century. The story follows the life and adventures of Robinson Crusoe, a young man born to a well-off family in York, who defies his father's wish for him to pursue a stable career and instead seeks a life at sea, ultimately leading to a series of tumultuous events including shipwreck and survival. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Crusoe’s background, including his family and upbringing, as he expresses a strong desire for adventure despite his father's warnings. His journey begins when he defies his family's wishes and runs away to sea, leading to a stormy and terrifying initial voyage that foreshadows his later trials. The beginning of the book sets the stage for Crusoe's character development and the themes of adventure, disobedience, and the consequences of one's choices, all central to his transformative story of survival and self-discovery on a deserted island.
