Summary of the novel (first-person narration)

Robinson's father wants him to study law, but he is bent on sailing. One day, he went to Hull, and one of his companions was going to London on his father's boat. Nothing moved Robinson more than this, so he followed-it was August of 165 1 year, when Robinson was nineteen years old. Hardly had the ship sailed out of Haikou when it was attacked by a terrible storm, which made Robinson feel unspeakable sadness and fear. Robinson swore with pain that if God left his life on this voyage, he would return to his dear parents after landing and listen to their advice from now on. But the next day the wind stopped and the waves stopped. The sun set in the west, followed by a beautiful and lovely evening, and then he drank a bowl of sweet wine brewed by his companions. Robinson gave up his determination to go home after this voyage. Robinson's habit has brought great misfortune to his life-willful actions often bring him disasters, but Robinson always refuses to seize the opportunity to repent at the moment of disasters. Once the danger was over, he forgot all his vows and threw himself into life without any tricks. After the first stormy voyage, Robinson experienced several different adventures. When doing business in Guinea, Africa, he was captured by a Turkish pirate ship and sold as a slave. After many difficulties and dangers, he finally fled to Brazil, running a sugar cane plantation alone and living a happy life. But then Robinson became a victim of temptation. Because Brazil is short of manpower, several plantation owners know that Robinson has been to some slave market ports in Africa to do business, so they try their best to coax Robinson to sail and buy some slaves for their plantations. If you listen to bad ideas, you will be in trouble. Their ship hit the rocks on an unnamed island on the north coast of South America, and all the sailors and passengers were drowned. God bless, Robinson is the only one who was washed ashore by huge waves and saved his life. At that time, all his things were a knife, a pipe and a box of small cigarettes. When Robinson recovered his strength and could walk, he walked along the coast. To his great delight, Robinson discovered fresh water. After drinking water, I put a handful of tobacco in my mouth to relieve my hunger. He lived in a tree, slept comfortably, was refreshed, and the sea was calm. But what delighted Robinson most was that he saw his boat. When the tide receded, he saw that it was close to the coast. Robinson found it convenient to swim to the boat. There is only one dog and two cats left on the boat, and there are no other creatures. But there were many necessities on board, so he began to work. In order to transport those things to an inlet on the island, Robinson specially made a raft and made a flat highland with fresh water on the island as his residence. Bread, rice, barley and wheat, cheese and dried mutton, sugar, flour, boards, logs, ropes-all these, plus a few muskets, two pistols, several shotguns, a hammer, and-that's the most useless-36 pounds. All these things Robinson took from the ship to the shore day after day between two ebbs. On the thirteenth night, when his handling work was completed, a wave swept the boat away. When Robinson lay down, although he was scared as usual, he was full of gratitude to God, because Robinson knew that he was ready to deal with this desert island in the future and felt at ease. There are many wild fruit trees on the island, but it took Robinson a long time to find them. There are some turtles on the island, too, but Robinson took a long time to find them. He often eats turtle meat and eggs. There are goats running around the island, but if Robinson didn't take the guns and ammunition from the ship, what good would they do him? Therefore, he has reason to thank the kind God for putting the boat on the coast until he brought everything useful to him. There are still many things to be done to ensure Robinson can survive on this island. He did several things he had to do as continuously as possible. But Robinson's efforts are not always lucky. When he planted the seeds of barley and rice for the first time, half of these precious stocks were wasted because the sowing was not at the right time. Robinson worked hard for several months and dug several cellars to store fresh water. It took forty-two days to cut a big tree into the first long board. He worked hard for several weeks to make a mortar for mashing wheat, but in the end he had to hollow out a large piece of wood. It took Robinson five months to cut down a big iron tree, cut it down again and again, and made a decent canoe to escape from the island, but in the end he had to throw it away because he couldn't let it go into the sea. However, every failure taught him something he didn't know before. As for the natural environment, there are storms and earthquakes on the island. Robinson also adapted to everything at that time. He grows and harvests barley and wheat; Wild grapes are collected and dried to make very nutritious raisins; Robinson raised tame goats, then killed them, smoked them and pickled them. Because of the variety of food, the supply is not bad. Twelve years have passed, during which he has never seen anyone on the island except himself. So until that important day, Robinson found a man's bare footprints on the beach. It seems that he was hit by a bolt from the blue. Robinson listened carefully and looked around, but he heard nothing and saw nothing. He ran to the seaside and went to the sea to look, only one footprint! Robinson was so scared that he fled back to my place like being followed and chased. For three days and nights in a row, he dared not go out. This is the best explanation for being afraid of people! 12 years of pain and efforts, 12 years of struggle with the natural environment, even because of a person's footprint and terror! But that's the truth. Robinson learned that cannibalism is the habit of those savages on that continent. They took the prisoners captured in the war to that place on the island where he seldom went, killed them and had a big meal. One morning, Robinson saw thirty barbarians dancing around the bonfire through the telescope. They have cooked one prisoner, and the other two are preparing to roast on the fire. At this time, he ran down to them with two loaded muskets and a big knife, and saved a prisoner who had no time to eat. Robinson named the person he saved "Friday" to commemorate his rescue on Friday. His voice became the first voice Robinson heard on this island in 25 years. He is young and smart, and he is a barbarian of the high tribe. Later, when Robinson was on the island, he was always a reliable partner of Robinson. After Robinson taught him a few words of English, he told Robinson about the mainland on Friday. Robinson decided to leave the island. They built a boat, this time not far from the coast. Just as they were almost ready to sail, 2 1 barbarians took three prisoners in three canoes and came to the island to prepare for a banquet. One of the prisoners was white, which made Robinson very angry. Robinson loaded two shotguns, four muskets and two double-ammunition pistols, gave Friday a small axe and drank a lot of sugarcane wine. Robinson himself rushed down the mountain with a big knife and killed them all, only four barbarians escaped. One of the prisoners is Friday's father. This white man is Spanish, a survivor of the ship that Robinson saw hit the rocks on his island a few years ago. At that time, Robinson also took more than 1200 gold coins from the ship, but he ignored the money because they were not more valuable than the sand on the beach. Robinson gave the Spaniard and Friday's father guns and food, and told them to take the shipwrecked sailors on the Spanish ship to the island with his newly built ship. While waiting for them to come back, an English ship broke down near Robinson Island because of the troubles of the sailors. Robinson helped the captain get his boat back and returned to England with him. When they left, they took two honest sailors who also wanted to go back to England, leaving some sailors who caused the most trouble on the island. Later, those Spaniards came back and settled on the island. At first, they quarreled with each other, but after they settled down, they finally established a prosperous colony. A few years later, Robinson was lucky enough to go to that island again. When he left the island, he had been there for 28 years. He always thought that he would be ecstatic when he arrived in England. Unexpectedly, Robinson became a stranger there. Unfortunately, both his parents have passed away. Otherwise, Robinson can take care of them dutifully now, because in addition to the 1200 gold coins he got from the Spanish ship, he still has 20,000 pounds waiting for him to collect from an honest friend. He is a Portuguese captain. Before Robinson went on that unfortunate mission, Robinson entrusted him with the management of Robinson's manor in Brazil. It is for this mission that Robinson lived on the island for 28 years. Robinson was very happy to see him so honest. Robinson decided to pay him 100 Portuguese gold coins every year and 50 Portuguese gold coins every year after his death as their lifelong allowance. Finally, Robinson got married and had three children. Apart from visiting the island where he lived mentioned above, he never roamed again. Robinson lives here, grateful to enjoy what Robinson doesn't deserve, and determined to make the longest trip. If Robinson has learned anything, it is to realize the value of retirement and pray for peace for the rest of his life. How long can he live?

Novel outline (third person)

Robinson was born in a respectable merchant family, eager to sail and bent on seeing something overseas. He went to sea without telling his father. On his first voyage, he was caught in a big storm and the ship sank. He managed to escape and save his life. The second time I went out to sea to do business in Africa, I made a fortune. The third time, he was unfortunately captured by the Moors and became a slave. Later, he escaped by rowing his master's boat and was rescued by a Portuguese cargo ship on the way. After the ship arrived in Brazil, he bought a manor there and became the owner of the manor. Not content with getting rich in this way, he went out to sea and sold slaves in Africa. On the way, the ship was attacked by a storm and all the sailors and passengers on board were killed. Only Robinson survived and drifted to an isolated island. He made a raft from the mast of the sunken ship, transported the food, clothes, guns, ammunition and tools from the ship to the shore again and again, and set up a tent on the hillside to settle down. Then he put a fence around the tent with sharpened stakes and dug a hole behind the tent to live. He used simple tools to make furniture such as tables and chairs, hunted game for food, and drank the water in the stream to tide over the initial difficulties. He started planting barley and rice on the island, making wooden mortar, pestle and sieve, processing flour and baking coarse bread. He captured and domesticated wild goats and let them breed. He also makes pottery and so on to ensure his own needs. Even so, Robinson never gave up looking for a way to leave the island. He cut down a big tree and spent five or six months making a canoe, but the boat was too heavy to drag into the sea, so he had to give up all his previous efforts and build a small one himself. After Robinson lived alone on the island for 28 years, one day, he found that the coast of the island was full of human bones. It turned out that a group of savages from other islands held a feast of human flesh here. Robinson was surprised. Since then, he has increased his vigilance and paid more attention to the things around him. Until the 26th year, another group of savages came to the island, ready to kill the captive. Robinson found and rescued one of them. Robinson named the rescued aborigines "Friday". From then on, "Friday" became Robinson's loyal servant and friend. Then Robinson took Friday to rescue a Spaniard and Friday's father. Soon an English ship docked near the island and found that the sailors on board had defected, kidnapped the captain and abandoned the captain and the first mate on board. Robinson and Friday helped the captain subdue the sailors and recapture the ship. He left the sailors on the island, the captain left the desert island and returned to England with Robinson on Friday. By this time, Robinson had been away from home for 32 years.
