Crusoe learns more of what it means to be a seaman. He is captured off the west coast of Africa and made a slave.
Here is the little surprise I promised last week. 'Robinson Crusoe' by Daniel Defoe is one of the greatest novels in existence. It marks the start of English novel-writing. There's so much more in this book than one would ever know from the silly movies that have been based upon it. In fact, there has never been a remotely good movie made of this incredible book. It goes so much farther than most writing at exploring the human spirit and the foundations of civilization. It is one of the most modern books I have ever read. It was written in 1719. You'll know what I mean if you listen to it. It just keeps coming at you without any letup.
I may move this over to a new blog site specifically for Robinson Crusoe. But for now, this will do just fine. I will try to add some introductory information about Defoe over the next week or so.
Listen and have a good time.
Young Jack Spencer sees his father's boat-building business destroyed by a powerful land developer. In desperation, he sets out on a dangerous adventure through time to find pirate treasure and bring it home.
'Pirate Jack' is an adventure novel originally published in 2000 by CandlelightStories.com in serialized format. It was offered to readers who signed up for weekly chapters that were sent via email. So many schools and teachers signed up for chapters that I decided to offer the book as a PDF file on the Candlelight web site. It has been there ever since.
