Talking about twenty-eight years that he spent on the island of Robinson Crusoe, Defoe was first launched in the literature of the subject. That work helped Robinson to stay human. Left alone with nature, the hero Defoe is working hard on the production of household items. It tells how he built his first building, furnish their homes and tame the wild goats, processed field, sculpted pots, baking bread, build boats and a lot more then you had to live on a deserted island. Directing the reader's attention to the inner world of his hero, Defoe gives him and signs ranneprosvetitelskogo consciousness. In fact, living on the island, Robinson mobilizes all his knowledge of nature, exploring not only the craft, but also patterns of climate change, the course of the year, and so far Almost above all else he values the results of the human mind. "… I have seen here, — shares his reflections Robinson — that the mind is the foundation and source of mathematics, and therefore, defining and measuring intelligence things about them and forming a correct concept, every time anyone can learn to trade … ". Overcome the difficulties that arise at every turn, Robinson adds his knowledge about the world, is deeply aware of the work of a person's life. While this may seem a paradox, but lonely life teaches Robinson appreciate human contact, he is deprived of joy for many years.True, he was not a little startled to see the twenty-third year of solitude — living-eating savages. At the same time, as we see, it is sad for the person-talker, a man-friend. This shows a certain degree of sadness in his relation to Friday: free savage became a pupil and friend of Robinson. In general, the moral aspect of the life stories of Robinson Crusoe is not less important and interesting than the economic. What's more — the two aspects are closely linked, inseparable from each other. The spiritual life of Crusoe on the island, of course, is not confined to prayer and reading the Bible — the only book that he has. Clear thing, the hero of Defoe portrayed as a man of his time and treatment in the mind to God for it entirely natural. Prayer for him a kind of activity — rest from work. Robinson himself admits that his idea for a long time, "did not know God," the first time he spoke to him in the storm, and again — once on the island. This second prayer, he gives a strong realist interpretation, describing his ecstatic joy as normal animals being rescued from death. It is important to note that in a fierce struggle with the elements Robinson loses the concept of conscience, compassion and humanity. So, ready to defend against a possible attack of savages, he will think twice concluded that the savages — the same people and that they "are not big killers than those Christians who are killed in battle or captured — as it still is — destroy the sword armies, did not spare even those who have laid down their arms and surrendered. " And it should be noted that Defoe as the author of the novel "Robinson Crusoe" has a connection with the Enlightenment "novel of education". The image of Robinson Crusoe varies considerably throughout its history. Frivolous and capricious young man, as he is at the beginning of the novel, it is influenced by life circumstances, wise and serious person. It is the "Bildungsroman" appreciated in "Robinson Crusoe" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who called the book Defoe good treatise on natural education. At the end of the work alive and hidden allegorical beginning. In fact, unprecedented success of the first novel was inspired by Defoe's Crusoe to continuing stories. In August 1719 came into the world "Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe," and a year later — "Serious thoughts of Robinson Crusoe for his life and amazing adventures." Both extensions, especially the latter, are not sued a long life. Meanwhile, the first book that has long been a classic, and on winning the hearts and minds of many readers around the world.
