Robinson Crusoe
An old classic I first read when I was in school. Interesting how much of it I had forgotten. It was fascinating to see how Robinson Crusoe coped with the primitive conditions in which he had to live. I found it amazing that nobody discovered the island for the 20+ years he was there other than the cannibals.
Brings back memories of my early school days
This book brings back my early childhood days. I did own one of these book back in the '70s and reliving the past by reading this book refreshes my mind all over again, it brings out the child in me. I really love these books and will recommend it to those who loves adventure stories e.g. Kidnapped, Jane Eyre, Count of Monte Cristo etc.
Back in my early days it was said that the island Robinson Crusoe was stranded on was Tobago which is our sister island, I live in Trinidad. Today its called Trinidad & Tobago close to the mainland of Venezuela. This book was first published in April 25, 1719 and lots of stuff had been changed over the years. It all brings the excitement to the story and to the mind of any young readers even us older folks.
Fun read
I read this about 35 years ago and wanted to revisit it. This review is based on a Kindle edition. RC is a fun read. For a book from this period it is light on grand themes and proselytizing which makes me think it may have originally been written for a young male audience (I have no idea if that's true). The obvious theme in the book, to me, is to trust in God, do what you can while accepting that some things can't change, and have confidence that eventually things do work out for the best. All this wrapped in a story I think a young boy in the post-enlightenment would find exciting.
I liked the story, too. How he solved various issues pertaining to day-to-day survival was interesting to me. I recommend it for a historical look at how self-sufficiency was perceived 100's of years ago.

I read this book in a simplified format, translated into my local language when I was young, and I am so glad I had the chance to read it in its orignal form. It is as good as I remember, even though it can take a bit of time to get used to the language. It is a book about courage and man's resilience, it is a true classic.
Holds up well, but ...
Surprisingly accessible for a book of its age.
The first part is a conventional coming-of-age story. The second part is immortal: Crusoe shipwrecked alone on an island for years. Crusoe's struggles, mental and physical and spiritual, are detailed and engaging.
