  • Robinson Crusoe (1719) is the book everyone means, one of the first English novels: twenty-eight years alone on an island.
  • Defoe wrote two sequels the same year and the next — The Further Adventures and the essay-like Serious Reflections — which few readers pick up.
  • Read the first; the rest is optional.
