"The Solitary of Juan Fernandez, or the Real Robinson Crusoe" by X.-B. Saintine is a novel written in the mid-19th century that reimagines the classic tale of survival and adventure inspired by Alexander Selkirk, who is often thought to be the real-life inspiration for Robinson Crusoe. The book explores the life of Selkirk and his experiences of isolation and self-discovery on a deserted island, alongside a rich cast of characters, including the landlady Kitty and Captain Stradling, set against the backdrop of early 18th-century Scotland and the New World. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to St. Andrew, Scotland, through the character of Catherine Felton, affectionately known as Pretty Kitty, the vibrant landlady of the Royal Salmon inn. The narrative unfolds with Kitty's encounters with Captain Stradling, who proposes marriage, and the return of Alexander Selkirk, a young man who once found himself infatuated with Kitty. As Selkirk’s love for adventure rekindles, he resolves to join Captain Stradling on a voyage, setting the stage for the tale of survival that follows. The juxtaposition of Kitty's domestic world and the impending adventures at sea creates a compelling contrast that invites the reader to delve deeper into themes of love, ambition, and the exploration of new territories, both physical and emotional.
