I’v read the book ”Robinson Crusoe” by Daniel Defoe.

The book was written in the 1700 century and was to become one of the most read book’s ever through all times. It still is very popular, and there has been made a movie out of it too. From the begining the book wasn’t called just Robinson Crusoe. It was called “The life and strange suprising adventures of Robinson Crusoe. But the name was shortend when it became more popular. Just beacuse it was to long to pronounce.

The main character Robinson lives in Hull, England. He’s father wants Robinson to become a lawyer, but Robinson refuses that and says he wants to explore the world. Robinson and a friend escapes to London. But after a fight, his friend takesof on his own. Robinson gets to London and there he finds a ship. The ship is on it way to Guinea. Robinson applyes to work as a trader on the boat. On it’s way to Guinea the boat gets trapped in to a storm and sunk. Robinson then gets captured by Turkish pirates who makes him a slave. Robinson planes his escape from the first day he gets there. He escapes when he and two other slaves are on a boat trying to catch som fish. He pushes on of the slaves over board but leaves the other one. IF the boy agrees on being loyal to him at all time! The boy (Xury) agrees and they escape. They are being picked up by a Portuguese tradingship. The ship are transporting slaves from africa.The capten is a nice man, and lets them travel with the ship to Brazil. For the captens kindness Robinson leaves Xury as a servant to the captain. Robinson now gets in to slavebuissnes. Eventhough he knows that he has enough money, he still wants the challange. He meets some sailormen on a bar and they say it’s a great idea! And the men now set sail towards africa. This was to become Robinsons last journey for the next 27 years.

The ship gets trapped in a storm and Robinson is the only one to get of the ship and to an island alive. He realizes that he is on a desert island with no population. Luckily, he finds the ship not far out in the sea. He can now get the most valuble supplies to survive on the island. He starts to grov all kinds of things on the island. There is only one thing that realy misspleases him. And that is that he’s all alone.

On one of his regular huntingexpeditions he spots some fotprints in the sand. Later on he finds out that they are canibals. One night the canibals have a cermony on the beach. They use enemy warriors too sacrifice to there Gods. One of the “prisoners” escapes and Robinson protect him and hides him. This man becomes Robinsons close friend on the island. He names him Friday. Robinson and Friday saves three other men from the canibals, one man from spain, and two other men from Fridays tribe. One of them was Fridays father. The spanyor and Fridays father leaves for the main land with one of Robinsons home made canoe.

Eight days after they leave a ship comes to the island. On the boat the find three prisoners. One of them is the Captain of the ship. He hade been set up with mutiny by his own crew. Robinson agrees to help the captain take his ship back. And they succed. As a reward he and Friday gets to travel back to England fo free.
