Daniel Defoe "The Life and Extraordinary Amazing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" - Document. Daniel Defoe "The Life and Extraordinary Amazing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" - Document What dishes Robinson Crusoe used

We all know the exciting story of Robinson Crusoe. But few people thought about what his name is, and here we are not talking about the prototype of the hero, but about the fact that neither Robinson nor Crusoe are names, these are two surnames. The novel says that Robinson is the mother's surname, and Crusoe is the surname of the German father. The story is told from the point of view of the hero, but the characters are not presented directly. We can learn his name only from the described dialogues, so a friend on the ship calls him Bob. The parrot calls him Robin Crusoe. It can be concluded that his name is Robinson, by the name of his mother, and, accordingly, all derivatives of Robin, Bob. Crusoe is his last name.

The prototype of the hero is the Englishman Alexander Selkirk, an English sailor. He spent about 5 years on the island, not 28 as in the novel.

What was the name of Robinson Crusoe's parrot?

Perhaps the favorite creature on the island for Robin was a parrot, which he tamed. The first word that Bob heard on the island from someone else's lips was "Butt", and this is what became the name for the parrot. This name is mentioned several times in the novel. And very often Robinson talks about his friend, he was not just an occupation, but a pleasure for a wild man. The fact that the parrot has a name, while other animals do not, is very symbolic, it shows how important live communication was for Robin.

What was the name of Robinson Crusoe's dog?

Unlike the parrot, Robinson does not call the dog by name in his notes. My dog ​​and my dog, that's all Robin calls her. The name is also not indicated by the author in the course of the story. According to the verbs that Bob uses in bringing the diary:

  • she jumped and swam,
  • she was and she replaced,
  • she died.

It can be assumed that the dog is without a name and Robinson calls it simply "Dog". Perhaps she does not have a name because, in the novel, names are given only to those who can speak, who allow the hero not to forget the human language. Or maybe because initially, when she lived on the ship, the dog did not have a name. Although it is very rarely spoken of, it is clear how dear Robinson was to her.

based on the novel by D. Defoe
February 2, 1709 from Masa Tierra they filmed someone who lived there, alone, for more than four years Alexandra Selkirk, which became the prototype of Robinson Crusoe.

And 10 years later, in 1719. the famous novel Daniel Defoe "The Life and Extraordinary Amazing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" that is, this book is already over 285 years old. And it cost, having appeared, not at all cheap - 5 shillings. Poor readers had to put aside shillings gradually, because everyone who only knew how to read wished to read the book.

The author of the book was the English writer D. Defoe, who himself had sixty years of excellent adventure life behind him by the time the book was written. He was born in London in 1660, his father was a small merchant, and the young man after graduating from college was preparing for a career as a preacher. As a child, he witnessed the plague and the great fire of London. Inquisitive, courageous, enterprising, Defoe changed many different activities in his lifetime. He traveled a lot in Europe, was in the hands of pirates, tirelessly tried to get rich, was engaged in trade, went bankrupt, went to prison for debts, became rich thirteen times and again poor. Participated in the political struggle and even the uprising. For angry pamphlets against the Anglican Church and government, he was subjected to fines, imprisonment and once - an unforgettable humiliation: he stood in the stocks at the pillory. He was also in the public service, carried out secret missions - he was an English spy in Scotland. He published the newspaper "Review", and also held the posts of treasurer-manager of the royal lottery.

And now, in his declining years, having remained out of politics by the will of circumstances, D. Defoe added to the four hundred works already in his compositional baggage that became the most famous - “The Life and Extraordinary Amazing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe”. At the request of readers, Defoe soon published two sequels: "The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" and "Serious Reflections in a Lifetime and Amazing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe". The sequels no longer had a resounding success and were not worthy of it.

Until now, no one knows: why, at the age of seventy, Defoe left his home in the suburbs of London and hid in a secret shelter. He died April 26, 1731.

Tired of a dull existence and he decided to go to serve as a sailor in the navy. During his service, he sailed a lot on the oceans and seas, repeatedly took part in naval battles and, as a result, got into the team of the famous pirate, Captain Damper. Then the restless Alexander served in several more crews of ships, after which he settled on the frigate of Captain Stradling, who made the capable young man his assistant.

The pirate ship with Selkirk on board suffered a minor wreck in May 1704 when a storm carried her to the island of Mas a Tierra, where the frigate was forced to anchor.

After the crash, Alexander remained on the shore with a weapon, an ax, a blanket, tobacco and a spyglass. Alexander fell into despair: he had neither food nor fresh water, and the guy had no choice but to put a bullet in his head. However, the sailor overcame himself and decided to explore the island. In its depths, he discovered an amazing variety of flora and fauna - Alexander began to hunt wild goats and sea turtles, fish and make fire using friction. He stayed like that for five years, after which he was picked up by a warship.

Books about Alexander Selkirk

The first book about the adventures of Alexander Selkirk, An Industrial Voyage Around the World, was written by Woodes Rogers in 1712. Then the former sailor himself wrote a book called "The Intervention of Providence, or an Unusual Description of the Adventures of Alexander Selkirk, Written in His Own Hand."

The autobiographical book of the future Robinson Crusoe did not become popular - apparently because Selkirk was still a sailor, not a writer.

The Life and Strange Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Robinson of York, who lived 28 years on a deserted island, was written by Daniel Defoe in 1719. Many readers recognized the world-famous protagonist of the book as Alexander Selkirk, a forced hermit from Mas-a-Tierra. Daniel Defoe himself repeatedly confirmed his acquaintance with Selkirk, whose story was used by the writer in his book. Thanks to Defoe, a living prototype of Robinson Crusoe, a monument was erected in his homeland - the Scottish village of Largo.

Alexander Selkirk had a bad temper. Unlike Robinson Crusoe, he was not a victim of a shipwreck. After another scandal between Selkirk and the captain of the Sank Por pirate ship, the rebellious boatswain was on the shore. Yes, and Alexander himself was not against this, because in the midst of a dispute, he stated that the ship needed urgent repairs, and he did not intend to put his life at unjustified risk.


The captain of the ship, William Dampier, gave the order to leave the brawler on the island of Mas-a-Tierra, where the crew replenished their supply of drinking water.


Alexander Selkirk was even glad that he was freed. He knew that ships for fresh water were constantly mooring to this island, so he did not doubt for a moment that he would be taken on board in a very short time. If the wayward boatswain knew at the time that he would have to spend 52 months here alone, then he probably would have behaved more prudently.
