Robinson Crusoe - audiobook, full-length, free. With text & chapters bookmarks.
"Robinson Crusoe" is a novel written by Daniel Defoe, first published in 1719. It is considered one of the earliest and most famous works of English literature, and it is often regarded as one of the first novels in the English language.

The novel tells the story of Robinson Crusoe, a young and adventurous Englishman who defies his family's expectations and sets out to explore the world. He embarks on several sea voyages, facing various trials and tribulations, until he becomes the sole survivor of a shipwreck that leaves him stranded on a deserted island in the Caribbean.

Isolated and left to fend for himself, Crusoe must learn to adapt to his new environment. He initially faces numerous challenges, including securing food, shelter, and protection from the elements. Over the years, he becomes increasingly self-sufficient, learning to grow crops, hunt, and craft tools from the limited resources available on the island. Crusoe's ingenuity and resilience enable him to survive and even thrive in his solitary existence.

As the years go by, Crusoe grapples with solitude, his longing for human companionship, and his quest to maintain his faith. Eventually, he discovers signs of other humans on the island when he encounters cannibals. He rescues a native man he names "Friday" and teaches him English, converting him to Christianity.

The two form a bond and become companions, making life on the island more bearable. Crusoe's story becomes one of survival, self-discovery, and his evolving relationship with Friday. After nearly three decades on the island, Crusoe is eventually rescued and returns to civilization.

"Robinson Crusoe" is a classic tale of adventure, resilience, and the human spirit's capacity to overcome adversity. It explores themes of isolation, self-reliance, and the enduring power of hope and faith in the face of hardship. The novel has inspired numerous adaptations and remains a significant work in the canon of English literature.
