After being shipwrecked, Robinson Crusoe turns a deserted island into a small orderly kingdom, with a house, fortresses, herds and a servant named Friday. But routine satisfies none of the three; an unexpected event alters life on the island and calls Robinson's ideas about civilization into question.
