Liest sich ganz gut, ist aber eher ein Pulp-Klassiker ( )

I think this is worth reading as a cultural artifact. Crusoe careened around the Atlantic enslaving people, and was then terrified of how he might be treated if he fell into their hands; his profound religious awakening and intimate relationship with an indigenous person (whose name he never asks) did not lead to any change in his views; his highest achievement as a person once enslaved himself was to become the feudal lord of a colony half-populated by more kidnapped and enslaved people. Crusoe is just face-meltingly abhorrent, and by the end I'd convinced myself that it was a satire of the English mindset of the time... Maybe it wasn't then, but it is now.

I liked the parts about danger and setting up systems of food production, though.

I hadn't read this since grade school, and was pleasantly surprised at how well it read. A real classic, the only flaws being a somewhat contrived ending. But the detail ... wow. A look back in time indeed. ( )

Il primo libro che ho letto da ragazzo e per intero. L'ho riletto e devo dire che ad ogni rilettura è sempre una nuova esperienza.

Robinson Crusoe di Daniel Defoe è un romanzo classico che affascina e ispira da oltre tre secoli. Per molti lettori, compreso me, è stato il primo libro che abbiamo letto per intero, aprendo le porte a un mondo di avventure senza fine e riflessioni profonde.

La trama di Robinson Crusoe ruota attorno alla storia di un giovane marinaio inglese, Robinson Crusoe, che naufraga su un'isola deserta e deve imparare a sopravvivere da solo. La narrazione dettagliata e coinvolgente di Defoe ci trasporta nell'animo di Crusoe, consentendoci di sperimentare la sua solitudine, le sue lotte e le sue vittorie mentre lotta contro gli elementi per costruire una nuova vita sull'isola.

Una delle ragioni per cui Robinson Crusoe ha avuto un impatto così profondo su di me e su molti altri lettori è la realizzazione del sogno di molti: vivere su un'isola deserta e godere di una totale libertà e indipendenza. Il desiderio di fuggire dalla società e dalla civiltà per cercare una vita più semplice e autentica è un tema universale che risuona ancora oggi.

Tuttavia, Robinson Crusoe è anche stato interpretato come un simbolo del capitalismo occidentale, dell'individualismo e dell'espansione coloniale. Nel suo isolamento, Crusoe assume il ruolo di padrone assoluto dell'isola, sfruttando le risorse naturali per il proprio beneficio. Questo aspetto del romanzo può essere interpretato come un'esaltazione dell'individualismo sfrenato e dell'idea che l'uomo possa dominare la natura.

Inoltre, Robinson Crusoe può essere letto come una metafora dell'uomo europeo esploratore, colonizzatore e conquistatore. Crusoe rappresenta l'immagine dell'uomo occidentale civilizzato che si impone su una terra straniera e assume il controllo della sua destinazione. Questo tema è particolarmente rilevante nel contesto storico in cui il romanzo è stato scritto, quando l'Europa stava espandendo il proprio dominio coloniale in tutto il mondo.

È importante notare che l'interpretazione di Robinson Crusoe come un simbolo del capitalismo, dell'individualismo e dell'espansione coloniale non è l'unica lettura possibile del romanzo. Defoe ha creato un lavoro complesso che può essere apprezzato da diverse prospettive, sia come avventura emozionante che come riflessione sulla condizione umana.

In conclusione, Robinson Crusoe rimane un libro iconico che ha affascinato e diviso i lettori da generazioni. La sua storia coinvolgente e le sue molteplici interpretazioni lo rendono un'opera letteraria di grande valore. Sia che siate affascinati dall'idea di avventure solitarie su un'isola deserta, sia che siate interessati alle sue implicazioni più profonde sul capitalismo, l'individualismo e l'espansione coloniale, Robinson Crusoe continua a offrire spunti di riflessione e intrattenimento senza tempo.

I'm actually sorry I read this book. I always had good impressions of it, without ever having read it. Now I have, and there's no going back.

I'm not sure just how much the views of Robinson Crusoe reflect those of the general public at the time it was written, but I suspect they match fairly well. And Robinson Crusoe is a arrogant, racist, misogynist idiot.

Think I'm exaggerating? He makes it off the island, but leaves some 'Spaniards' stranded there. On the very last page of the book he sends 'five cows, three of them being big with calf, some sheep, and some hogs' back to the island for the inhabitants, along with 'seven women, being such as I found proper for service, or for wives to such as would take them.'

Early on in the book, he is taken by 'Moors' that force him into slavery. When he makes his mistake, he is careful to make sure he takes a fellow captive along to serve as his own slave boy.

The book is rife with stuff like that. When Crusoe rescues a Spanish castaway from cannibals he introduces himself, but when he rescues a native from the same fate, he tells the native his name will be Friday, and Friday is to call him 'Master.' Apparently Friday thinks that's perfect, and goes out of his way to become a perfect slave.

Hell, he ends up on the island as part of a failed attempt to become a Brazillian slave trader!

There's only two beings in the book who have a name - Robinson Crusoe, and Pol, the parrot. His wife and children get a lot less prose than the parrot, and no, you never learn their names either. Everyone else is described and never named, and they all think Crusoe can do no wrong. Apparently only Robinson Crusoe ever saw fit to criticize Robinson Crusoe.

The parts of the book I actually enjoyed were descriptions of how he performed all the tasks required to stay alive, and yet they were always ridiculously easy. Never once does he not find fresh water within minutes of looking for it, and although many things supposedly take months and months to complete, he only ever mentions the first couple of days of his labour at most. He never gets hurt, gets sick only once and shoots all sorts of people without ever getting so much as a scratch.

All of this mess is apparently because he wouldn't listen to his father and ran away. It's appropriate for God to kick him in the teeth repeatedly and kill off everyone around him over and over again until he gets the message. And even then the good Christian's morals wander around like a lifeboat in one of the many storms. About the only decision taken for Christian reasons that stuck was not moving back to Brazil because he wasn't sure about being Roman Catholic!

The best part of this book? The binding fell apart as I read it so it's not worth keeping or selling now I'm done with it.

Maybe I'm missing the point. If it's there, it's not worth digging for. If you haven't read this one, skip it and watch an episode of Gilligan's Island instead. ( )
