Summary: "A New Robinson Crusoe" by W. L. Alden is a novel written in the late 19th century. This satirical tale follows the adventures of Mike Flanagan, a young Irishman who becomes shipwrecked alongside an eccentric and self-important character named Mr. Crusoe, who claims to be the grandson of the original Robinson Crusoe. The narrative presents a humorous twist on the classic castaway story, exploring themes of survival, friendship, and the absurdity of human nature. The opening portion introduces Mike Flanagan, who recounts his adventures at sea and how he ended up in a precarious situation aboard the ship "H. G. Thompson". After a disastrous storm leads to the shipwreck, Mike manages to save Mr. Crusoe, and they find themselves stranded on a deserted island. They begin their survival efforts, with Mr. Crusoe often leading with bizarre ideas and relying on the legacy of his grandfather's experiences. The comedic dynamic between the practical Mike and the delusional Mr. Crusoe sets the stage for a series of misadventures filled with witty dialogues as they attempt to navigate their new life on the island.
