Cuando Robinson Crusoe naufragó en aquella isla desierta, no podía imaginar que pasaría allí veintiocho años, que sembraría arroz y cebada, que haría queso, y que encontraría a un "buen salvaje" a quien evangelizar. Pero Robinson no es sólo un hombre hábil, capaz de sobrevivir, y aun de prosperar a fuerza de tenacidad e ingenio. Es, sobre todo, el prototipo de colonizador inglés, que no se conforma con «estar» en la isla, sino que la explora y la somete.

Daniel Defoe, por su ausencia de pretensiones literarias -o justamente por ello-, por su estilo «esencial» y tan «práctico» como el hombre que narra su vida, escribió una obra maestra imprescindible.

I really enjoyed this. No chapters, just sort of pick up and read and put it down as you please. It does not try to outpace your attention, but it is entertaining and I liked how Crusoe learns his lessons. I think it is a timely read if you take it as a moral meditation. We are surrounded by beeps and blips and buzzes and I think many of us would welcome a stay on a desert island, hence the Minecraft reference. This has really made me realize that I struggle to trust God with my sustenance.

Friday is definitely not the best representation of a native person, but he is also not the worst. Yeah, it's kind of awful that he totally submits to this white man, but I don't see how Defoe writing in 1719 could have come up with something better. Considering the time period, it …

Yeah, it's kind of awful that he totally submits to this white man, but I don't see how Defoe writing in 1719 could have come up with something better. Considering the time period, it is actually something remarkable that Crusoe treats Friday as an actual human and not a subhuman. I think it is important not to dismiss an entire work because of one or two imperfect elements.
