Robinson Crusoe Island (novel)

Robinson Crusoe Island (Polish: Wyspa Robinsona) is a historical adventure novel for young people by Polish author Arkady Fiedler.

The protagonist Jan (John) Bober, a half-Polish half-English Virginia pioneer, flees from government pursuit in a pirate ship.

Jan and his two Arawak companions Arnak and Wagura (former slaves from the ship), the only survivors of the shipwreck, live on the island for over a year.

Later they accept onto the island a group of escaped slaves from Margarita Island and, combining forces, defeat Spanish slaver pursuers and seize their ship.

Fearing Spanish revenge, Jan and his followers leave the island on the captured ship.
