Description

Um dos romances mais célebres e influentes de todos os tempos, Robinson Crusoé narra as peripécias do engenhoso náufrago inglês ao longo de trinta anos de isolamento numa ilha no Caribe. O argumento básico de Robinson Crusoé é universalmente conhecido. Isolado em sua "Ilha do Desespero" (ao largo da atual Venezuela) após um trágico naufrágio, o marujo inglês luta pela sobrevivência valendo-se de todos os escassos meios a seu alcance. Com o tempo e os utensílios recuperados do navio, ele chega a se tornar um competente marceneiro e agricultor, além de pastor de cabras e profundo conhecedor da Bíblia - a única leitura disponível. Sem contato com qualquer ser humano por mais de duas décadas, certo dia Crusoé salva um nativo do assassinato por canibais que haviam aportado numa das praias da ilha, e logo o faz seu criado, dando-lhe o nome de Sexta-Feira. Alguns anos mais tarde, o acaso leva um navio inglês às proximidades da ilha, dando início a um longo conflito com a tripulação amotinada. O livro também conta com uma alentada introdução de John Richetti, professor emérito de literatura inglesa na Universidade Columbia e reconhecido especialista na obra de Daniel Defoe.
