"The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe is a story about a man who can't resist the call of the wild. After years of peaceful living back home, Robinson Crusoe finds himself longing for the island where he was once stranded. His wife's passing and the quiet life he now leads fuel his desire for adventure and his need to see how things are going on his old island. The story looks at Crusoe's feelings of loneliness and his strong urge to explore as he decides to set sail once again. This part of the book kicks off the exciting journey that carries Crusoe back to his past and the life he built during his time alone. Themes of discovery, struggles for survival, and the wide range of human feelings fill these early pages, setting the stage for more adventures.
