Robinson Crusoe follows the adventures of the title character, an English sailor marooned on a tropical island near Trinidad. After surviving a shipwreck during a storm, Crusoe finds himself the sole survivor on an uninhabited island. Over many years, he learns to build shelter, grow crops, raise livestock, and make pottery using supplies salvaged from the shipwreck. During his isolation, he faithfully reads the Bible and becomes deeply religious.
Crusoe's solitary existence is interrupted when he discovers cannibals occasionally visit the island to kill and eat prisoners. One day, he rescues a prisoner from the cannibals and names him Friday, after the day of the week. Crusoe teaches Friday English and converts him to Christianity. The two become companions as Crusoe continues to dream of escape. Years later, an English ship appears near the island. Crusoe helps the captain retake control of the ship from mutineers, finally securing passage off the island after 28 years.
