Ebook About For nearly three centuries, Robinson Crusoe has been the archetypal castaway, the symbol of survival in uninhabited wilds. In this book, Tim Severin adds this enterprising hero to the roster of legendary figures whose adventures he's replicated and whose origins he's explored. With the signature approach to literary and historical sleuthing that has led the New York Times to describe him as "original, audacious, and exuberant," Severin uncovers the seaman's world that captured Daniel Defoe's imagination, recounting dramatic survival stories of sailors, pirates, castaways, and native Americans and replicating their journeys to experience for himself the adventures that inspired Robinson Crusoe. He camps on islands that famous castaways once survived on, undertakes a perilous sea voyage, and searches Nicaragua and Honduras for the Miskutu Indians, the tribe that the model for Crusoe's companion, Friday, belonged to. Tim Severin has once again demonstrated a superb ability to bring together literature, history and adventure in an engrossing narrative.Book In Search Of Robinson Crusoe Review :
This book uses "Robinson Crusoe" mostly as a framing device within which to tell travel stories.The Crusoe aspect is this (spoiler alert): Defoe was inspired by the true story of a man marooned on a South Pacific Island but took most of his details from the true story of a man, whom Defoe may well have later met, marooned on a Caribbean island. (This is a spoiler because the author contrives to discover only on the last page of his book that Defoe may have met the man. Whether this is original scholarship I have no idea but the author apparently found out about it on his own.)It doesn't take long to explain this, though the author strings the pieces of it along the length of the book. So most of the book consists of first-person accounts of his visits to that South Pacific island, to the string of Caribbean islands on which Defoe based Crusoe's island, and to the South American mainland to visit the indigenous people from whom came the real-life prototype, at least in the author's view, of Crusoe's Man Friday. Some of his modern-day experiences, thoughts, and impressions can be more-or-less related to the Crusoe theme; others have at best a tenuous connection.This is not a bad book. My reaction to it is muted because I was expecting more Robinson Crusoe and less travelogue. For those interested in both this could be enjoyable. Since the time the sun never set on the British Empire, and despite having a rather gray and lackluster cuisine, Brits have excelled as travel writers. Tim Severin’s In Search of Robinson Crusoe is but another example of that excellence. An intrepid explorer and excellent scribe, Severin traveled the lands described in Daniel Defoe’s books to see if he could discover the identity of the real life castaway upon whom Defoe based his book, or if it was based upon the voluntary castaway, Alexander Selkirk, as many believe.Moving back and forth in time, with summaries of the past interspersed with descriptions of his own often hazardous, sometimes hilarious, journeys, Severn effectively debunks the myths, and comes to the conclusion that Defoe based his character upon an entirely different castaway. I won’t spoil the book for you by identifying that worthy. I’ll just suggest you get the book and find out for yourself.Severn writes in a vivid style, complete with self-deprecating wit that will make this perhaps one of the best travelogues, historical narratives, adventure books you’ll read in a while.
