Defoe's eighteenth century classic tells of a young man who leaves home on a sea-borne adventure that sees him overtaken by pirates, kept as a slave, and eventually marooned for decades on a desert island.

A tale of survival, spirituality, and self-reliance amidst the cruelest elements of nature and humanity.
