This novel was created by Defoe inspired by a true story at that time. 1704 In September, a Scottish sailor named alexander selkirk quarreled with the captain and was abandoned by the captain in the Atlantic Ocean. After living on a desert island for four years and four months, he was rescued by Captain woodes rogers. Defoe, based on the legendary story of selkirk, devoted his many years of sea experience to the characters and made full use of his rich imagination to process the literature, making Robinson not only a hero in the eyes of the middle and small bourgeoisie at that time, but also the first idealized emerging bourgeoisie in western literature. After many years of publication, the novel has been translated into many languages and widely circulated all over the world, and has been adapted into movies and TV series many times.
