Riassunto del libro: 'Robinson
Crusoe'
Robinson Crusoe was born in York in 1632. His
father wanted he became a lawyer, but Robinson wanted to travel. When he was
nineteen he left England. After a terrible journey he went to Guinea, where
natives gave him gold for some objects. He went then to Brazil, escaping from
Turkish pirates. In Brazil he became a rich planter, but he wanted to travel
again. So he went to Guinea with other planters, but during the journey there
was a terrible storm. Everybody died, except him. He was transported from the
sea to an isolated island. He was alone on that island, so he took some objects
from the ship and he made a house. He took a dog and two cats too: they were
his only friends. He explored the island and made other houses. His biggest
matter was the solitude. He became very ill too but luckily he cured. He wrote
a little journal too, but the ink ended. He found a parrot and taught it some
English words. After 15 years on the island he found a footprint and after
three years again he found human bones. There were cannibals on the island! A
day he saved a prisoner from the cannibals and he called him Friday. He became
Robinson's slave and he learnt to speak English. They saved two prisoners after
few years and one of them was Friday's father. A day a ship arrived on the
island, but the captain was a prisoner of some rebel. Robinson and Friday
killed the rebels, so Robinson could come back to England after 28 years. His
parents were died, so he married and had three children. When his wife died, he
went with his nephew to India and China. He came back on his island too and
there Friday was killed from natives. Robinson was very sad. He went all around
the world and when he was 72 he went back to London. In his life Robinson had
learnt to appreciate the importance of solitude, courage and peace.
