About This Book
Un marin survit à un naufrage et passe de longues années sur une île déserte, apprenant à subvenir à ses besoins, à bâtir un abri, cultiver des plantes, chasser et gérer sa solitude et sa foi. Le récit suit ses efforts pour assurer sa survie, ses rencontres avec des indigènes et d’autres naufragés, et les tensions morales liées à la propriété et à l’ordre social. L’œuvre alterne scènes d’aventure, descriptions pratiques de la vie insulaire et réflexions sur civilisation, religion et industrie personnelle, montrant la débrouillardise humaine face à l’isolement.
