"The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe is a novel first published in 1719. After ignoring his parents' wishes, young Robinson Crusoe pursues a life at sea, only to be shipwrecked on a remote tropical island.

When he rescues a prisoner he names Friday, Crusoe gains a companion—and perhaps a chance at rescue.
