Room by room

• The Early Voyages: Against His Father. His father's warning, his first voyage from Hull and the storms off Yarmouth, his capture by pirates from Sallee, his escape with the boy Xury, his rescue by a Portuguese captain, his plantation in Brazil and the voyage that ends in shipwreck.
• The First Year: Raft and Palisade. His first night in a tree, the raft trips to the wreck, his tent behind a wall of stakes, the post where he keeps count of the days, his journal, the earthquake, the barley that springs up, his fever and the Bible.
• The Island Years: King of the Island. His journey across the island, the valley of grapes and his bower there, the parrot he teaches to speak, his pots, baskets and bread, the great canoe he cannot launch, the voyage when the current carries him off, his tame goats and his goatskin clothes.
• The Footprint and Friday: A Print in the Sand. The print on the shore, Crusoe's years of fear and hiding, the signs of cannibal visitors, the cave, the Spanish wreck, his dream, the rescue of Friday and Friday's first lessons.
• Rescue and Return: The Long Way Home. The rescue of a Spaniard and Friday's father, the English ship whose crew have mutinied, the retaking of the ship, Crusoe's leaving of the island, his fortune from Brazil and the journey over the mountains with Friday.
