Book Synopsis

A shipwrecked survivor is washed up on a deserted island, where he lives alone until he rescues a savage. Naming the man Friday, the two continue their lonely existence until they leave for England. Crusoe's tale spans 28 years and is probably based on the true story of Alexander Selkirk, who lived on a deserted island for five years.
