Passt definitiv :)

Zusammenfassung:

Crusoe (the family name corrupted from the German name "Kreutznaer") sets sail from the Queen's Dock in Hull on a sea voyage in August 1651, against the wishes of his parents, who want him to pursue a career, possibly in law. After a tumultuous journey where his ship is wrecked in a storm, his lust for the sea remains so strong that he sets out to sea again. This journey, too, ends in disaster, as the ship is taken over by Sale pirates (the Sale Rovers) and Crusoe is enslaved by a Moor. Two years later, he escapes in a boat with a boy named Xury; a captain of a Portuguese ship off the west coast of Africa rescues him. The ship is en route to Brazil. Crusoe sells Xury to the captain. With the captain's help, Crusoe procures a plantation.

Meine Meinung:

Ich habe das Buch im 4. Kapitel (der ungekürzten Fassung) abgebrochen. Es hat mich fast zum Einschlafen gebracht. Wenn man denkt dass Tolkien und Martin immer alles ausschweifend erklären und erzählen müssen hat man bei Robinson Crusoe schon nach 10 Seiten die Schnauze voll. Kein Spannung, nix. Liest sich wie eine Einkaufsliste oder ein GANZ langweiliges Tagebuch.
