Summary "Crusoe in New York, and Other Tales" by Edward Everett Hale is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The stories explore themes of adventure, morality, and human experience through various narratives, including a modern take on the classic character Robinson Crusoe, reimagined in a contemporary New York setting. The collection offers both whimsical tales and poignant reflections on life and society. The opening of "Crusoe in New York" introduces the protagonist, Robinson Crusoe, who recounts his early life and the challenges faced after his father's death. An orphan raised by his mother, he learns carpentry under an old-fashioned master. As he recounts his experiences, Crusoe finds himself reflecting on his humble beginnings and the hardships endured, leading to his determination to create a better life. The character's aspirations ignite when he devises a plan to build a house for his mother on a vacant lot in the city, ultimately setting in motion a tale of ambition, love, and the human spirit's quest for happiness amid adversities.
