My Favourite Book (1)

My favourite book is «Robinson Crusoe» by Daniel Defoe. D. Defoe (1660-1731) was a great master of realistic detail. The novel «Robinson Crusoe» was written in 1719. The novel is praise to human labour and the triumph of man over nature.
Defoe shows the development of his hero. At the beginning of the story we see an inexperienced youth, a rather frivolous boy, who then becomes a strong-willed man.
Robinson Crusoe’s most characteristic trait is his optimism. His guiding principle in life become «never

say die» and «in trouble to be troubled is to have your troubles doubled».
He had confidence in himself and in man. He believed it was within the power of man to overcome all difficulties. Crusoe was an enthusiastic worker and always hoped for the best.
Defoe is a writer of the Enlightenment. He teaches people how to live, he tries to teach what’s good and what’s bad. His novel «Robinson Crusoe» is not only a work of fiction, an account of adventures, a biography and an educational pamphlet.
It is a study of man, a great work showing man in relation to nature and civilization as well as in relation to labour and private property.

Моя любимая книга — «Робинзон Крузо», написанная Даниэлем Дефо. Д. Дефо (1660 — 1731) был великим мастером реализма. Роман «Робинзон Крузо» был написан в 1719 году. Роман — хвала человеку труда и торжеству

человека над природой.
Дефо показывает развитие своего героя. В начале повествования мы видим неопытного юношу, довольно легкомысленного парня, который затем становится мужчиной с сильным характером.
Наиболее характерной чертой характера Робинзона Крузо является его оптимизм. Ведущий принцип его жизни — «никогда не думать о гибели» и «беспокоиться в беде — означает, что твоя беда удваивается».
Он уверен в себе и в человеке. Он верит, что во власти человека преодолеть трудности. Крузо был энтузиастом-трудягой и всегда надеялся на лучшее.
Дефо — писатель эпохи Просвещения. Он учит людей как жить, он старается научить тому, что такое хорошо и что такое плохо. Его роман «Робинзон Крузо» — это не только художественное произведение, описание приключений, биография и поучительная книга.
Это — исследование человека, величайший труд, показывающий как его взаимоотношения с природой и обществом, так и его отношение к труду и частной собственности.
