1704年，蘇格蘭水手賽爾科克在船上反叛，被拋到智利外海的一座荒島上，生活了五年。笛福受到這一事件的啟發(fā)，寫(xiě)成此書(shū)。《魯濱孫漂流記》以真實(shí)具體、親切自然的文風(fēng)描寫(xiě)魯濱孫孤獨(dú)地在海上生活二十八年的經(jīng)歷，不僅在英國(guó)文學(xué)史上是個(gè)里程碑，而且在世界文學(xué)史上都可稱作一部以現(xiàn)實(shí)主義文風(fēng)寫(xiě)出的現(xiàn)代小說(shuō)，由此，作者笛福就有了“現(xiàn)代小說(shuō)之父”的美稱。笛福一生筆耕不輟，作品包括新聞報(bào)道、政治宣傳冊(cè)等共有250種（另一說(shuō)有500種）之巨。大量的寫(xiě)作磨練了笛福的筆鋒，《魯濱孫漂流記》不論是敘事，還是寫(xiě)景，大都能夠使人如闖其聲、如臨其境，因而，閱讀這部書(shū)的人在各國(guó)的小說(shuō)讀者群中一直高居榜首。此書(shū)自出版至今已被譯成各種文字，在全球行銷不衰幾百版。據(jù)說(shuō)，除《圣經(jīng)》之外，《魯濱孫漂流記》是世界上出版多的一本書(shū)。

CHAPTER I START IN LIFE
Was born in the year 1632,in the city of York,of a good family,though not of that country,my father being a foreigner of Bremen,who settled first at Hull.He got a good estate by merchandise,and leaving off his trade,lived afterwards at York,from whence he had married my mother,whose relations were named Robinson,a very good family in that country,and from whom I was called Robinson Kreutznaer;but,by the usual corruption of words in England,we are now called--nay we call ourselves and write our name Crusoe;and so my companions always called me.
I had two elder brothers,one of whom was lieutenant-colonel to an English regiment of foot in Flanders,formerly commanded by the famous Colonel Lockhart,and was killed at the battle near Dunkirk against the Spaniards.What became of
my second brother I never knew,any more than my father or mother did know what was became of me.
