Robinson Crusoe,supposedly based on the real adventure,is in fact,a work of sheer imagination.The novel consists actually of three parts though only the first part is most well-know and widely read.In this part the hero of the story,Robinson crusoe,narrates in the first person how he goes to sea,gets shipwrecked and maronned on a lonely island,struggles to live for twenty-four years there and finally gets relieved and returns to England.The story starts with Roginson Crusoe's running away from home.An inexperienced teenager and a young man full of bright fancies about the future,he naturally chooses going to sea,because in thoese days it meant a chance to live a chivalrous life,to see the wonders of the world and to make a fortune.After many setbacks and adventures on the sea,he settles down in Brazil as a planter.But the call of the sea is so strong that he soon embarks on another voyage,this time,to Africa.Unfortunately a frightful storm blows the boat off its course and shipwrecks it near an island.

Of all the ship's crew Robinson alone escape to the shore after strenuous efforts.After salvaging from the wrecked ship some stores of necessities such as bread,rice,barley,corn,planks,lead and gunpowder,and axe and tow saws,which he later manages to bring to the island with a self-made raft.After several futile attempts to leave the island,Robinson settles himself down to a hard and lonely life.He grows crops,domesticates animals and builds comfortable homes for himself.His life takes a turn for the better when he saves from the hands of savages a young Black man,whom he names Friday.Robinson teaches him English and educates him in such a way that Friday soon becomes a loyal servant and an indispensable help to him.Finally they are picked up by an English ship and return to England.Thus end the first part of the story.

In Robinson Crusoe,Defore traces the growth of Robinson from a naive and artless youth into a shrewd and hardened man,tempered by numerous trials in his eventfull life.The realistic account of the successful struggle of Robinson single-handedly against the hostile nature forms the best part of the novel.
