I know I'm supposed to like this book, but perhaps it was the fact that every male professor in the English department assigned that book from freshman year on. I would read it every time and hated it more with each reading. "En spännande berättelse om sjömannen Robinson Crusoes inre och yttre kamp för överlevnad - totalt isolerad på en öde ö. Den unge Robinson var tidigt driven av en obetvinglig längtan att gå till sjöss. Han får uppleva många äventyrliga resor runt om i världen innan han under en våldsam storm lider det skeppsbrott som för honom som ensam överlevande till en öde ö i Karibien."

“Robinson Crusoe,” though, remains something truly special: It belongs in that small category of classics — others are “The Odyssey” and “Don Quixote” — that we feel we’ve read even if we haven’t. Retellings for children and illustrations, like those by N.C. Wyeth, have made its key scenes universally recognizable.... A classic is a book that generations have found worth returning to and arguing with. Vividly written, replete with paradoxes and troubling cultural attitudes, revealing a deep strain of supernaturalism beneath its realist surface, “Robinson Crusoe” is just such a classic and far more than a simple adventure story for kids. A friend of mine, a Welsh blacksmith, was twenty-five years old and could neither read nor write, when he heard a chapter of Robinson read aloud in a farm kitchen. Up to that moment he had sat content, huddled in his ignorance, but he left that farm another man. There were day-dreams, it appeared, divine day-dreams, written and printed and bound, and to be bought for money and enjoyed at pleasure. Down he sat that day, painfully learned to read Welsh, and returned to borrow the book. It had been lost, nor could he find another copy but one that was in English. Down he sat once more, learned English, and at length, and with entire delight, read Robinson... It was the scene of Crusoe at the wreck, if I remember rightly, that so bewitched my blacksmith. Nor is the fact surprising. Every single article the castaway recovers from the hulk is “a joy for ever” to the man who reads of them. They are the things that should be found, and the bare enumeration stirs the blood. Crusoe has been called a kind of Protestant monk, and it is true that he turns the chance of his isolation into an anchorite’s career. The story is one of spiritual realization — almost half a lifetime spent on contemplation works profound changes, whatever the subject’s religion. We can watch Crusoe become, year by year, a better, wiser man... Robinson Crusoe may still be the greatest English novel. Surely it is written with a mastery that has never been surpassed. It is not only as convincing as real life. It is as deep and as superficial as direct experience itself.

After living alone for twenty years, Crusoe finds a human footprint in the sand and soon finds a tribe of cannibals. During his confrontation with the fierce warriors, he rescues a black man who would have been killed by them. Crusoe names this man Friday and treats him like a servant at first due to the color of his skin. A common view in imperial England at the time. However, the author treats Friday and the other "savages" as true human beings. Crusoe flees the island when a rebel ship sails to the coast. He helps the British captain to regain control of his ship and, in return for his service, receives transportation back to England.
Considered the first English novel, Robinson Crusoe is an adventure classic, in fact, it is the prototype of such novels, but with a more careful look, you will see thoughts about the importance of civilization, faith and friendship. (
