>Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe. This classic novel is over300-years-old but it’s also basically Island of the Blue Dolphins with100% more anxiety about elusive cannibals. <

but minus Blue Dolphins and plus main character owning a plantation run by slave labor, going off on a trip to buy more slaves, selling a child into indentured servitude, random animal cruelty, gets some company after rescuing a native but never bothers to learn the man's real name, encounters a group of shipwrecked Spaniards and lies to them about rescue, leaving them on the island for years after he's rescued and gets back to England.

(I read the book and its sequel recently and was shocked at what a d-bag Crusoe really is.)
