Well, he I am, sitting at one of my favourite coffee shops on a blustery and wet winter morning in Melbourne having just finished another book of which I have known the story since I was a little boy but having never actually read the book. I'm sure we all know of the story of Robinson Crusoe, who w...
Dear Crusoe,What the F*** is wrong with you?!!!My opinion, short and simple: when Crusoe revolted against his father/God he actually didn't want to change the social or natural system, he just wanted to take the role of his father! He wanted to become a father/God. And eventually that is exactly wh...
Robinson Crusoe is a book everyone sort of knows, perhaps more for the man than for his book. The central myth of the shipwrecked Englishman, forced to reconstruct society from the debris of a dashed vessel, appeals to a deep, secret well of childhood within us all. For this reason, the 18th centu...
La foudre m'épouvanta moins que cette pensée, qui traversa mon esprit avec la rapidité même de l'éclair.Aujourd'hui nous aimons ce que demain nous haïrons; aujourd'hui nous recherchons ce que nous fuirons demain; aujourd'hui nous désirons ce qui demain nous fera peur, je dirai même trembler à la seu...
For what was supposed to be the classic shipwreck story I couldn't help but be disappointed by Robinson Crusoe. It may have been the language of the time, but I found the story to be slow and frankly a little boring. It seemed to be a lot of lists of things that Crusoe was doing or accumulating or l...
I do think this is a book worth reading at least once (thus the three stars), although it certainly is no favorite. One thing it isn't though, even though I've seen the novel categorized as such--it's not a tale that would appeal to children in language or content--at least not in unabridged, unbowl...
This book. I don't think I've ever disliked a classic this much. Even when I was reading Kafka, which made me feel terrible, I still had a lot of respect for the book because it blurs the line between fiction and reality to such an extend that you feel debased and uncomfortable. I don't really have ...
The beginning of this novel is plain and boring. Just a guy not knowing where he fits and therefore decides to pack his stuff and lives all around the globe.Then once he got stranded on the island things started to get more interesting. I loved reading about his everyday life, habits and fears. Crus...
This brings back a lot of memories. I was such a small child when I read this for the first time and it made quite an enormous (kind of the size of a T-rex) impression on me! I loved Crusoe! He was my hero, alone on that island, far away from the world, bravely fighting everything that came his way....
I didn't think I really needed to read this book. After all the plot line is pretty well known and the survival story of being stuck on a desert island has been repeated in many other books as well as used multiple times in Hollywood blockbusters. And somehow I was under the impression that when C...
