1) Robinson Crusoe
Author: Daniel Defoe
Robinson Crusoe is one of the most famous works of the famous English writer Daniel Defoe, published in 1719 and considered the first English novel. It is a fictionalized autobiography of the protagonist, a shipwrecked Englishman who spends 28 years on a remote desert island at the mouth of the Orinoco, near the coasts of Trinidad and Venezuela.
The story was probably inspired by real events that happened to Pedro Serrano and Alexander Selkirk, very popular at the time, from which he would build, with a simple and authentic plot, a symbol of colonialism, of the perfect man (the self-sufficient and pragmatic bourgeois) and the supreme morality.
Robinson Crusoe is the classic adventure novel par excellence.
