Robinson Crusoe
How does a human being rebuild their own world in absolute isolation where everything is disconnected?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I reopened this book, which I had remembered only as the thrilling adventure of my childhood, I was overwhelmed by one man's fierce struggle for survival and his astonishing strength of spirit. The process by which Crusoe, cast away on a desert island, instead of sinking into despair, keeps meticulous ledgers, fashions tools, and builds a civilization all his own, is nothing short of sublime. This novel is not simply a story of survival. It is a hymn to the innate greatness of humankind, who, even in absolute solitude, never loses life's meaning and carves out his own fate through reason and labor.
"I learned to look more upon the bright side of my condition, and less upon the dark side."Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe
"나는 구제불능의 절망 속에서도, 이 상황의 밝은 면을 찾아내어 신에게 감사할 이유를 발견했다."
