The idealised master-servant relationship Defoe depicts between Crusoe and Friday can also be seen in terms of cultural imperialism.

Robinson Crusoe and Man Friday by Carl Offterdinger

Friday is one of the main characters of Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe.

In October 1704, after the ships had parted ways because of a dispute between Stradling and Dampier, the Cinque Ports was brought by Stradling to an island that is today known as Robinson Crusoe Island in the uninhabited archipelago of Juan Fernández off the coast of Chile for a mid-expedition restocking of supplies and fresh water.

The extent and particulars of Defoe's writing in the period from the Tory fall in 1714 to the publication of Robinson Crusoe in 1719 is widely contested.

* 1709 – Alexander Selkirk is rescued after being shipwrecked on a desert island, inspiring the book Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe.

The Juan Fernández Islands ( Spanish: Archipiélago Juan Fernández ) are a sparsely inhabited island group reliant on tourism and fishing in the South Pacific Ocean, situated about off the coast of Chile, and is composed of three main volcanic islands ; Robinson Crusoe Island, Alejandro Selkirk Island and Santa Clara Island, the first two being formerly called Más Adentro and Más Afuera respectively.

The population is 633 ( all on Robinson Crusoe ); of those 598 reside in the capital, San Juan Bautista, on Cumberland Bay on the north coast of the island ( 2002 census ).

Robinson Crusoe is the largest of the islands, at and the highest peak, El Yunque, is.

Radiometric dating indicates that Santa Clara is the oldest of the islands, 5. 8 million years old, followed by Robinson Crusoe, 3. 8 – 4. 2 million years old, and Alexander Selkirk, 1. 0 – 2. 4 million years old.

" However, In proposing the thought experiment involving the fictional character, Robinson Crusoe, a captain shipwrecked on a desolate island with no other inhabitant, Wittgenstein shows that language is not in all cases a social phenomenon ( although, they are for most case ); instead the criterion for a language is grounded in a set of interrelated normative activities: teaching, explanations, techniques and criteria of correctness.

* February 2 – Alexander Selkirk is rescued from shipwreck on a desert island, inspiring the book Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe.

Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe that was first published in 1719.

Although commonly referred to as simply Robinson Crusoe, the book ’ s complete, original title as it appears on the title page of the first edition is The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque ; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself.

This journey, too, ends in disaster as the ship is taken over by Salé pirates ( the Salé Rovers ) and Crusoe is enslaved by a Moor.

Years later, Crusoe joins an expedition to bring slaves from Africa but he is shipwrecked in a storm about forty miles out to sea on an island ( which he calls the Island of Despair ) near the mouth of the Orinoco river on September 30, 1659.

One is Friday's father and the other is a Spaniard, who informs Crusoe about other Spaniards shipwrecked on the mainland.

It was intended to be the last part of his stories, according to the original title-page of its first edition but a third part, Serious Reflections During the Life & Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, With His Vision of the Angelic World, was added later ; it is a mostly forgotten series of moral essays with Crusoe's name attached to give interest.

Defoe's immediate inspiration for Crusoe is usually thought to be a Scottish sailor named Alexander Selkirk, who was rescued in 1709 by Woodes Rogers ' expedition after four years on the uninhabited island of Más a Tierra in the Juan Fernández Islands off the Chilean coast.

However, Robinson Crusoe is far from a copy of Woodes Rogers ' account: Selkirk was marooned at his own request, while Crusoe was shipwrecked ; the islands are different ; Selkirk lived alone for the whole time, while Crusoe found companions ; while Selkirk stayed on his island for four years, not twenty-eight.
