  The protagonist, together with his friend Pultykin, visits one of his men - Khor. This kind fellow landowner, although he is a little carried away by Westernism, but this is expressed only in the fact that his cook changes the taste of food radically

Robinson Crusoe sees a ship near the shore in the morning. On a makeshift raft, he gets to the ship and transports all the necessary products and items ashore. Then he climbs a hill and surveys the area from a height, in the distance he sees two more islands. Robinson notices many birds on the island. He takes on the arrangement of his home. Before the storm, he manages to transport a lot of things from the ship to the shore, making several trips on a raft. Robinson carefully prepares his dwelling on a high place, from which the sea is clearly visible, and encloses it with a palisade.

Robinson saw the ship. He was surprised that the ship was not destroyed by the storm. He is very hungry, he decided to carry the necessary things. There he saw food, gunpowder, things and tools. But he did not have a raft, it is good that there were spare things for the ship. He began to build a raft and transport the necessary things. (Short)

In the morning, Robinson Crusoe discovers that a storm has driven the ship closer to shore. On the ship, the hero finds dry provisions and rum. From spare masts, he builds a raft, on which he transports ship boards, food (food and alcohol), clothing, carpenter's tools, weapons and gunpowder to shore.

Climbing to the top of the hill, Robinson Crusoe realizes that he is on an island. Nine miles to the west he sees two more small islands and reefs. The island turns out to be uninhabited, inhabited by a large number of birds and devoid of danger in the form of wild animals.

In the early days, Robinson Crusoe transports things from the ship, builds a tent out of sails and poles. He makes eleven voyages: taking at the beginning what he can lift, and then taking apart the ship. After the twelfth swim, during which Robinson takes knives and money with him, a storm rises on the sea, absorbing the remains of the ship.

Robinson Crusoe chooses a place to build a house: on a smooth, shady clearing on the slope of a high hill overlooking the sea. The hero is surrounded by a high paling, which can only be overcome with the help of a ladder.

In the morning, Robinson saw that their ship was washed closer to the shore. Using spare masts, topmasts and yardarms, the hero made a raft, on which he transported boards, chests, food supplies, a box of carpentry tools, weapons, gunpowder and other necessary things to the shore.

Returning to land, Robinson realized that he was on a desert island. He built himself a tent of sail and poles, surrounding it with empty boxes and chests to protect against wild animals. Every day Robinson sailed to the ship, taking things he might need. Crusoe first wanted to throw away the money he found, but then, after thinking, he left it. After Robinson visited the ship for the twelfth time, a storm swept the ship out to sea.

Crusoe soon found a comfortable place to live - in a small smooth clearing on the slope of a high hill. Here the hero set up a tent, surrounding it with a fence of high stakes, which could only be overcome with the help of a ladder.

Peace is not for Robinson, he barely hatches in England for several years: thoughts about the island haunt him day and night. Age and prudent speeches of his wife for the time being keep him. He even buys a farm, intends to take up rural labor, to which he is so accustomed. The death of his wife breaks these plans. Nothing else keeps him in England. In January 1694, he sails on the ship of his nephew, the captain. With him is faithful Pyatnitsa, two carpenters, a blacksmith, a certain "master for all sorts of mechanical work" and a tailor. The load he takes to the island is hard

Even to enumerate, everything seems to be provided, right down to “brackets, loops, hooks”, etc. On the island, he expects to meet the Spaniards, whom he missed.
Looking ahead, he tells about life on the island everything that he learns later from the Spaniards. The colonists live unfriendly. Those three inveterate ones that were left on the island did not come to their senses - they are loafing, they are not engaged in crops and a herd. If they still keep themselves within the bounds of decency with the Spaniards, then they exploit their two compatriots mercilessly. It comes to vandalism - trampled crops, destroyed huts. Finally, the Spaniards also lose patience and this trinity is expelled to another part of the island. Do not forget about the island and the savages: having learned that the island is inhabited, they run into large groups. There are bloody battles. Meanwhile, the restless trio begs the Spaniards for a boat and visits the nearest islands, returning with a group of natives, in which there are five women and three men. The British take women as wives (religion does not allow the Spaniards). The common danger (the biggest villain, Atkins, shows himself excellently in a fight with savages) and, perhaps, the beneficial female influence completely transforms the odious Englishmen (there are two of them left, the third died in the fight), so that by the time Robinson arrives, peace and harmony are established on the island .
Like a monarch (this is his comparison), he generously endows the colonists with inventory, provisions, clothes, settles the last differences. Generally speaking, he acts like a governor, which he might well have been, if not for his hasty departure from England, which prevented him from taking out a patent. No less than the well-being of the colony, Robinson is concerned with establishing "spiritual" order. With him is a French missionary, a Catholic, but the relationship between them is sustained in the educational spirit of religious tolerance. To begin with, they marry married couples living "in sin." Then the native wives themselves are baptized. In total, Robinson stayed on his island for twenty-five days. At sea they meet a flotilla of pirogues full of natives. A bloody slaughter flares up, Friday dies. There is a lot of blood shed in this second part of the book. In Madagascar, avenging the death of a rapist sailor, his comrades will burn and cut out an entire village. Robinson's indignation turns thugs against him, demanding to land him ashore (they are already in the Bay of Bengal). The captain's nephew is forced to yield to them, leaving two servants with Robinson.
Robinson meets with an English merchant who tempts him with the prospect of trade with China. In the future, Robinson travels by land, satisfying natural curiosity with outlandish customs and views. For the Russian reader, this part of his adventures is interesting because he returns to Europe through Siberia. In Tobolsk, he met the exiled "state criminals" and "not without pleasantness" spent long winter evenings with them. Then there will be Arkhangelsk, Hamburg, The Hague, and, finally, in January 1705, after ten years and nine months of space, Robinson arrives in London.

ROBINSON CRUSOE

Chapters one - two

From early childhood, Robinson Crusoe loved the sea most of all. But the parents didn't like it. They wanted their son to take care of the convulsions. And then he decided to run away from home. He and a friend boarded a ship bound for London.

On this journey, he had to see with his own eyes what a real storm is at sea. Robinson even helped the sailors himself.

The comrade said that he had better go home. But Robinson did not heed this advice.

Chapters three - four

One respected captain really liked the guy, and he took the young man to his ship. He talked to the guy and taught him the sciences. However, the captain soon died, and Robinson went to sea for the first time himself. Unfortunately, this trip was unsuccessful and Robinson was captured by pirates, where he stayed for more than two years.

Together with the little boy Xuri, he went fishing, but did not return. The fugitives landed on the shore. For some time they were in the wild, eating what they could get, until they were picked up by a ship bound for Brazil.

Chapters five - six

Robinson lived in Brazil for four years and became a successful planter. And one day I decided to make a trip to Guinea along the golden sand and ivory. This trip ended in an accident near an unknown island.

Only Robinson Crusoe survived. Realizing this, he took out the most necessary things from the ship and built himself a dwelling: a cave surrounded by walls.

There were no people and known animals on the island. There were many birds, but they were also unknown to Robinson.

Chapters seven - eleven

Robinson learned that strange goats live on the island. He began to hunt them. In order to know how much time has passed and which month lasts, Robinson began to keep a calendar.

He also wrote down in his diary everything that happened to him, both good and bad. These records gave him optimism.

Robinson had to endure an earthquake, a serious illness. But he was alive, and therefore did not lose hope.

While exploring the island, Robinson learned that the other part was richer in animals and birds, but did not move from his place. However, in addition to the cave on the shore, he built himself a cottage in the forest.

Chapters twelve - fourteen

Robinson found grain and began growing barley and rice. Soon he had entire plantations. Subsequently, he learned to bake bread, make dishes from clay, sew clothes from the skin of dead animals.

He fortified his dwelling. Now one could feel calm during long periods of heavy rains.

He had a dog and cats, which he took from the ship, and a parrot, which he taught to talk.

Chapter fifteen - seventeen

Several times Robinson tried to build a boat to get to the mainland, which he saw from the other side of the island. However, he had to be content with a small shuttle, on which he explored the coast of the island.

On one of these trips, he nearly died when he fell into a wheatgrass.

A few years later, Robinson managed to tame the goats - now he always had his own milk and meat.

Chapters eighteen - twenty

More than twenty years have passed. While exploring his island, Robinson learned that there are cannibals on it who arrange noisy meals, leaving a lot of human bones and leftover meat. This worried him and forced him to fortify his dwelling even more. A whole forest has now grown around the cave. And the housing itself was surrounded by double walls.

One day, Robinson noticed a ship wrecked at sea. He was waiting for someone to escape and get to the island. But that did not happen.

Chapter twenty one - twenty four

The savages have reappeared. They brought with them several prisoners whom they were going to eat. Robinson rescued one of them and kept him. He gave him the name Friday and taught the savage the language and some skills. They became very attached to each other. Now Robinson had a devoted friend and assistant.

They built a boat and prepared to sail. But it had to be postponed, because the savages again appeared with prisoners, among whom were the Spaniard and Friday's father. Robinson rescued the prisoners and helped them regain their strength. The Spaniard reported that he was from a ship that had crashed. He asked Robinson for permission so that his comrades also settled on the island and helped with the household. Robinson Crusoe agreed.

Chapter twenty-five - twenty-seven

Once a ship with the British came to the shore. These were robbers. They mutinied on the ship and captured the captain and assistant. Robinson and his comrades freed the prisoners. They told Robinson that two villains had led the whole team to robbery. Robinson and his comrades helped the captain and his friends to defeat the criminals.

And there were still twenty-six people on the ship involved in the rebellion. Friends decided to get on the ship. But first, the pirates had to be convinced or defeated. With the help of Robinson and his friends, the captain persuaded the sailors to show themselves.

Chapter twenty eight

From those team members who sincerely repented, they made up a new team. Others were defeated. Finally Robinson went home.

After returning, he told his sisters for a long time about his adventures. Relatives were very happy about the return of Robinson Crusoe, whom everyone already considered dead.

Robinson was the third child in the family. Therefore, he was spoiled and not prepared for any craft. As a result, his head was filled with "all sorts of rubbish", in particular, dreams of travel. His older brother died in Flanders during a battle with the Spaniards; The middle brother also went missing. And now at home they don't even want to hear about letting Robinson sail. His father begged him to think of something more mundane and stay with them on dry land. These father's prayers made Robinson forget about the sea only for a while. But a year later he sails from Hull to London. His friend's father was a ship's captain and he had a chance at a free ride.

Already on the first day, a storm broke out and Robinson began to regret a little about what he had done.

After some time, a stronger storm hits them, and despite the experienced personnel, this time the ship cannot be saved from the wreck. The drowning people are saved by the boat of a neighboring ship, and already on the shore, Robinson again reflects on the events as signs given to him from above and reflects on returning home. In London, he meets the captain of the ship, which should go to Guinea, where Robinson will soon go. Upon returning to England, the captain of the ship dies and Robinson must go to Guinea himself. It was an unsuccessful trip - corsairs attacked the ship in Turkey and Robinson turns from a merchant into a slave who does all the dirty work. He had long lost hope of salvation. But one day he gets the opportunity to run away with a guy named Xuri. They escape on a boat that they have prepared for the future (crackers, tools, fresh water and weapons).

Robinson got on the ship, which soon suffered twice from the storm. And if the first time everything more or less worked out, then the second time the ship was wrecked. On a boat, Robinson reached the island, on which he did not leave the hope that he was not the only one who survived. But time passed, and apart from the remnants of his friends, nothing sailed to him. Following the disappointment, he is taken by surprise by cold, hunger and fear of wild animals.

Soon, Robinson, having assessed the complexity of the situation, began from time to time to sail to the sunken ship and get the necessary building materials and food from there. He learns to tame a goat (he used to only hunt her and eat meat. Now he also drinks milk). Later, the idea came to him to engage in agriculture.

Anyone can envy that life of Robinson modern inhabitant metropolis: fresh air, natural products and no pollution. But Robinson is not primitive, he is helped by his knowledge of past life. He begins to keep a calendar - he makes marks on a wooden pole (the first was made on 09/30/1659).

This is how Robinson lived, slowly settling on the island, and as soon as he began to look at all the lands with his master's eye, he noticed a trace of a human foot in the sand! In an instant, our hero returns to his home and begins to strengthen it, looking for new building materials. For some time he decides to sit out in safety, but then he goes on a "tour" and again sees the traces and remains of a cannibal dinner. Horror seizes him for almost two years and he lives without escape only on his half of the island.

One night he sees a ship and starts to light a fire. But already in the morning he sees that ship broken on the rocks.

He saw how one savage was sentenced to death and felt the duty to save him. After being rescued, he names the savage Friday and decides to tame him. He teaches Friday three main words: master, yes and no. The next arrival of the cannibals gave them another man - a Spaniard and Friday's father.

After, a ship arrives to punish the captain, assistant and passenger. Robinson and Friday rescue the punished and seize the ship on which they get to England.

Robinson's 28-year stay on the island ended in 1686. Returning home, Robinson Crusoe found that his parents had long since died.
