Obviously suffering from sequelitis (the sequel being way poorer compared to the original), but points added for providing an insight into the Western view of the world in the 17th century.

I bought this book from a thrift store, when I was about 10 years old, not knowing this was an abridged version of the story. Still love this version, with its illustrations. However, as an adult, I find it a bit to quick of a story. Will definitely the original unabridged story of Robinson Crusoe sometime!

The mad colonizer's adventures continue. This time he puts on a merchants hat and heads to the East. On his way to the glory,
- he participates in tit for tat fightings and a resulting massacre of the Malagasy
- then instigates a pagan revolt in the Russian hinterland by desecrating a local idol
- and consequently hides from the ensuing responsibility while threatening his fellow travelers at the hands of the angered heathen army.

This felt like a huge waste of time!
I enjoyed the first Robinson Crusoe novel but this was literally just him talking about how he hates everyone who isn't a white Christian for the whole novel. Don't recommend.

O altă carte de care m-am bucurat în copilărie și care, aventuroasă și exotică, a fost o bună demonstrație a cât de departe te poate face să ajungi literatura. Cu ochi de matur, recitind-o, m-am concentrat, evident, pe alte aspecte. Însă pe la 13-14 ani copiii o văd ca pe o pură aventură: un excelent film de acțiune curgând natural din forța suspansului.
