Just not my type of book. I stopped reading it after the protagonist exhibits gross disregard for wildlife. I get that it’s an adventure novel steeped in history, but it’s too outdated for me to glean anything significant out of it - not even pleasure.

Il s'agit d'un récit colonial où un colon britannique s'accapare une île, sa nature, ses habitants et prend un autochtone comme esclave, l'objectifiant en l'appelant Vendredi et lui enseignant comment l'appeler Maître. C'était la pensée dominante de l'époque.
I enjoyed this book, definitely of it's time in terms of attitude but good nonetheless
Really just a great story. Defoe's great adventure story of a young sailor doomed to shipwreck and live on a deserted island has been kicking around for the last two hundred years and for good reason. The indefatigable Crusoe is the archetype of the castaway survivor-man and the inspiration for countless other realist classics. I love this kind of stuff and that most people have at least some dim awareness of this famous novel's protagonist is probably the strongest argument for its continued print runs and for actually reading it.
