Robinson Crusoe
Defoe, Daniel

The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (of York, Mariner Who lived Eight and Twenty Years all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, where in all the Men perished but Himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver’d by Pyrates) is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published in 1719 and sometimes regarded as the first novel in English. The book is a fictional autobiography of the title character, an English castaway who spends 28 years on a remote tropical island near Venezuela, encountering Native Americans, captives, and mutineers before being rescued. This device, presenting an account of supposedly factual events, is known as a “false document” and gives a realistic frame story.

Robinson Crusoe, in passato comune anche sui libri, è un romanzo di Daniel Defoe pubblicato nell’aprile 1719 e considerato il capostipite del moderno romanzo di avventura e, da alcuni critici letterari, del romanzo moderno in (More) generale.
Robinson Crusoe è figlio di un mercante di Brema (il cui nome originale è Kreutznaer) emigrato in Inghilterra. Nato nel 1632 nella città portuale di York, il padre lo educa severamente alla nuova condizione di rappresentante cadetto della classe media e vuole che in futuro diventi un avvocato; il giovane però, da sempre fortemente appassionato alla vita di mare, decide appena compiuti diciannove anni di andar contro le direttive paterne, fermamente contrarie ai suoi ‘istinti di viaggio’, e quindi d’imbarcarsi.
