Alexander Selkirk, a hot-headed Scots sailor serving under privateers, quarrels with his captain and is left on the island of Juan Fernandez. Saintine imagines his years of solitude: exploring the island, building a cabin and furniture, fishing, making a hammock, fearing poison, and finding companionship among the island’s animals.

A charming French retelling of the true story behind Robinson Crusoe, by the author of Picciola. Download the free EPUB.
