(1719) Defoe's sequel to "Robinson Crusoe" sees an aging Crusoe longing for his adventurous youth. He buys a merchant ship and arranges to have it stop for a few days at his former island home where he checks in on the Spanish castaways and English mutineers whose hands he left it in. He then travels further around the world through more adventures. It's interesting, but difficult to sympathize with RC's 18th century preoccupations and prejudices.
