Robinson Crusoe is a narrative of one man's survival in isolation, but it also has pirates, shipwrecks, cannibals, mutiny, and much more. It's a very deep story about isolation, loneliness, and the drive to endure. Crusoe, as a narrator, can be obnoxious at times, but I have some sympathy for him. I, too, would have 'fled like one hunted' if I found a footprint in the sand that wasn't my own, after being stuck alone on an island for 20+ years.
I loved Robinson Crusoe far more than I expected. I read it approximately five years ago but couldn't remember much about it, so I decided to re-read it for the Classics Club challenge.
