NBC will air a serialized television adaptation of the 1719 Daniel Defoe novel Robinson Crusoe this fall, keeping alive the desert island theme that has done so well for the Pirates of the Caribbean and Lost franchises. Crusoe will premiere on October 17, and the 13-part series aims to provide the "pace and energy of network television while remaining faithful to the author's original classic story."
That all sounds dandy, so let's just take quick look at the story and the legend that influenced it to see what islands we need to visit to have our own Crusoe experience. ]]>
