Crusoe and the castaway's triumph over nature.

Thus Crusoe begins his journal in Daniel Defoes classical story- the vividly realistic account of a solitary castaway's triumph over natureitself-and overthe crippling fears,self-doubt,and loneliness the are and inescapable part of human nature. For about two centuries ROBINSON CRUSOE has remained one of the best-know and most read of english novels.A popularity owing as much to the enduring freshness and immediacy of it's style as to it's unchallenged stature as what MAXIM GORKY called the -"the bible of the Unconquerable."
