Arguably the first novel ever written. It's worth a read - in modern terms it's kind of like the movie Castaway. But be ready for lists of foods eaten, observations and entries of activities done today on a deserted island!

german version

along with Moby Dick this was one of the hardest books I ever had to slog through

I LOVED this book! I read a extremely watered-down version as a kid and couldn't wait to read the real book! I love survival stories. :)

First adventure story or fan fiction for colonisers? This was so uncomfortable to read. Intrigued to read J.M Coetzee’s “Foe” to see what it has to say in response. (Had to read this for Uni).

Ancestor of the Life of Pi. Similar log of events interspersed with self-reflection.

Fifty-nine days of this ordeal, and today it has finally and forcibly ended, on 13 October, 2016.
