Review

The story introduces us to Robinson Crusoe, a young adventurer who, after a

shipwreck, finds himself abandoned on a desert island. From this point, Defoe
immerses us in a captivating story where Crusoe must manage to survive.

What stands out most in the novel is the detailed description of Crusoe's
adventures to stay alive. From building a shelter to hunting and farming, Defoe
shows us the ability to adapt and ingenuity of humans in the face of adversity.

Beyond the adventure, Robinson Crusoe is an introspective journey. Isolated

from the world, Crusoe is forced to reflect on his life, his mistakes and his
relationship with God. This introspection leads him to mature and find new
meaning in his existence.

Although it was not Defoe's main intention, the novel is infused with a
colonialist vision of the time. Crusoe sees himself as superior to the "savages"
he encounters on the island, forcing us to reflect on the complexities of the
historical context in which the play was written.

Despite its nuances, Robinson Crusoe remains a masterpiece of literature. Its

fast-paced pace, endearing characters, and deep reflections on human
nature make it an essential read for readers of all ages.

Robinson Crusoe is not just an adventure novel. It is a work that invites us to

reflect on our relationship with nature, the meaning of life and the capacity of
human beings to overcome adversity.
