A review by penleguin
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe

3.0

Man vs. Nature, as Robinson is stranded on an island and must use his wits to stay alive. Defoe had me in the first half of the book.. but then the main character meets and subjugates (enslaves?) a “savage”. From there it goes downhill steadily into cringe city, but having been published in the early 1700s, I guess that’s part of the territory? Still pretty fucky, though it’s a decent adventure story besides that.
