2. Second voyage: With the adventure of the first voyage, he started his second voyage to Africa to do business and made a sum of money, just like being addicted. In Africa, he opened his eyes and strengthened his determination and desire to take risks. ?

3. The third voyage: His genius and adventurous personality prompted him to sail for the third time, but unfortunately, he was captured by the Moors and became a slave for the third time. Later, he rowed his master's boat to escape and was rescued by a Portuguese cargo ship on the way. ?

4. Going to sea for the fourth time: Re-adventure life in Africa: Being adventurous, afraid of loneliness and fond of exciting life in his bones, he decided not to live a quiet manor life and went to sea to sell slaves in Africa. This life gave him great adventure fantasies, but in the end, it was an unexpected 28-year desert island life. ?

5. The last time he went to sea for business: the quiet life in England finally made him lonely again. He went to sea for business again and passed through the desert island where he lived. At this time, the sailors and Spaniards who stayed on the island had settled down and prospered. Robinson sent new immigrants, gave them the land on the island, and left them with all kinds of daily necessities, leaving the island with satisfaction.

Creation background:

Defoe lived in a time when British capitalism began to develop on a large scale. In 172, he published "Shortcuts to Eliminate Different Sects" and satirized the government's religious policy, so he was arrested and sentenced to three times. After he was released from prison, he was engaged in editing newspapers and periodicals, and wrote many political and economic pamphlets. He was arrested three times for his speech. In 1719, Defoe published his first novel Robinson Crusoe.

This novel is based on Alexander Selkirk's real experience on a desert island. According to the British magazine at that time, in April 174, Selkirk rebelled at sea and was abandoned by the captain on a small island called Masatier in Juan-Fernandez Islands, more than 9 kilometers off the coast of Chile. Four years and four months later, he was found by the navigator and rescued.

At that time, Selkirk had forgotten human language and completely turned into a savage. Inspired by this incident, Defoe conceived the story of Robinson. However, in the process of novel creation, Defoe created the image of Robinson with the enterprising spirit of the rising bourgeoisie and the colonial spirit of the 18th century, starting from his own impressions and feelings of the times.
