“
I was born in the year 1632, in the city of York, of a good Family, though not of that country, my father being a foreigner of Bremen who settled first at Hull. He got a good estate by merchandise and, leaving off his trade, lived afterward at York, from whence he had married my mother, whose relations were named Robinson, a very good family in that country, and from whom I was called Robinson Kreutznaer; but by the usual corruption of words in England we are now called, nay, we call ourselves, and write our name "Crusoe", and so my companions always called me 去书内

    The novel is based on Alexander Selkirk's real-life experience on a desert island. In April 1704, Selkirk defected at sea and was abandoned by his captain on a small island called massatier in the Juan Fernandez Archipelago, more than 900 kilometres off the coast of Chile, according to the British magazine at the time. He was found by navigators four years and four months later and rescued. By then, Selkirk had forgotten the language of man and had completely become a wild man. Defoe was inspired by the incident and conceived Robinson's story. But in the process of writing the novel, Defoe, starting from his own view and feeling of the times, shaped Robinson's image with the enterprising spirit of the bourgeois rising period and the colonial spirit of the 18th century.
