The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe is one of the most iconic and pioneering novels in English literature which lead to the creation of realistic fiction as a genre. Written by English writer Daniel Defoe, and first published in 25th April 1917, the book was considered by many as a real-life travelogue during the initial years. Written in a simple narrative style, the book describes the story of Robinson Kreutznaer who spent 28 years as a castaway on a deserted tropical island in Trinidad where he encounters captives, cannibals and mutineers before being rescued. It is one of the most widely published books in history and has been translated into numerous languages.
