Robinson Crusoe

Before the fateful voyage, the hero often chooses the sea against his father's advice and goes through dangerous adventures. Finding himself on an island, he salvages supplies and tools from a wrecked ship, sets up a dwelling, searches for food, and learns to grow grain. Everyday tasks require patience and ingenuity: he needs to keep track of supplies, defend against threats, and master crafts without anyone's help. Later, solitude is interrupted by signs of other people's presence, and the familiar order of life changes.
