The classic story of a shipwrecked man and his will to survive.
Review:
This is a real classic that everyone should read. The writing is beautiful and the story line moves along at such a pace that you will not get bogged down in the slightly archaic language. The story is about far more than just a man surviving it is about the morals of an era. It speaks of the darker side of colonialism, religious conversion/ethics, economic systems and the more general culture of the time. It can be read as a historical study as well as a timeless story. I recommend anyone interested in colonial history read this novel.
8/10
