Articles relating to the novel Robinson Crusoe (1719)by Daniel Defoe and its adaptations. It is an English adventure novel, written with a combination of Epistolary, confessional, and didactic forms. The book follows the title character (born Robinson Kreutznaer) after he is cast away and spends 28 years on a remote tropical desert island near the coasts of Venezuela and Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers before being rescued. The story has been thought to be based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived for four years on a Pacific island called "Más a Tierra" (now part of Chile) which was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966.
