Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the timeIts original title is: The life and incredible adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, sailor, who lived twenty-eight years completely alone on an uninhabited island on the shores of America, near the mouth of the great Orinoco River; having been dragged to the shore after a shipwreck, in which all the men died except him. With an explanation of how in the end he was unusually released by pirates. Written by himself. But well, for friends it is Robinson Crusoe.I do not know if this work, the most famous of Daniel Defoe, can be considered, today, as the predecessor of the youth novel. We cannot forget that we are talking about a book published in 1719, and that it is the founding novel of adventures. Therefore it represents an incalculable value.The name with which it is published in 1719 already contains a brief summary of the content, so we could add that it is the adventure of a child, who wishes to go beyond what his parents propose or desire for him. Thus, the protagonist prefers to avoid any sign or manifestation established to follow his wishes regardless of the consequences. Perhaps youth and innocence justify the facts and means of such a reaction, but they also serve the narrator to involve us in his reading.A training novel where a child becomes a man and matures with every blow, especially when it comes to seeing himself on a desert island with nothing but his ingenuity, which he will demonstrate through the practices and causes-effects of Your own evolution. Learn to collect everything that can be edible; to keep the products that he could save from the ship as long as possible; to know the land to reap in the right times; to make your own home over and over again; to prepare your own food and your own tools to perfect them. All following trial-error techniques.Basically it is the adventure of a man who watches over his own interests and to protect himself from storms, famine, disease and any other situation that is out of one's own hands. Daniel Defoe portrays, in an entertaining way, an adventure that is not as far from our reality as we might think at the beginning.As for the narration we can say that it is composed in the form of a newspaper that fades on the island, similar to the loss of the notion of the main character's time, and remains only as a story with a linear structure full of descriptions. A book that falls apart in the hands of the reader.
