 THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Robinson Crusoe was a territorial British colonist: he considered as his own island, and he seems reluctant to confess its exact location to anyone, not even to Defoe.
The Further Adventures gives an account of the activities of the small population, and the regular visits of the cannibals.
Crusoe opposed all these, therefore he was marooned, and settled at the Bay of Bengal for a long time.

 Literary Encyclopedia: The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe
Robinson Crusoe (1719) is one of the great adventure stories of Western culture, as well as being an exemplification of the novel's protean form.
Behind Robinson Crusoe lies a true story, the tale of the Scottish sailor Alexander Selkirk, who had survived for several years on his own on the island of Juan Fernandez, off the coast of Chile, after quarrelling with his ship's captain and asking to be put ashore.
Crusoe's idyll is broken by the discovery of the famous image of a single footprint on the sand, and he realises he is not after all alone; a point reinforced when he stumbles across the remains of a cannibal feast on the shore.
