GENERAL INFORMATION Who hasn`t heard of Robinson Crusoe? The main character of Daniel Defoe`s novel Robinson Crusoe is a young sailor who is shipwrecked on a desert island, where he spends the next twenty-eight years. * APPEARANCE Robinson Crusoe`s appearance after years on the island shows how difficult the life is. His face is rough and sunburnt from years in the hot sun, while his fair hair and beard are dirty. His ragged clothes are made from animal skins. Personality Crusoe`s personal qualities help him overcome the difficulties he faces. _Firstly, he is imaginative. He finds clever ways to make things he needs. _For example, he uses coconut shells for pots and builds a house from wood and stone. Crusoe is _also very determined and brave, and never gives up the struggle to survive. He shows his bravery when he saves a prisoner, Man Friday, from being killed by savage natives.

You should definitely read the book, _because__ you will meet one of the most unusual and most popular characters in English literature.
