$tories a!out adventures on desert islands are, in my view, attractive for each reader. They are read Buic%ly and with pleasure

!ecause they show different, un%nown life. 9otic, wonderful nature, wild animals have to impact people living in overcrowded,

polluted cities. 0hen reading such stories as +o!inson :rusoe or the >lue Lagoon a reader may remove themselves into

different world where !rutal, temporary ha!its and !ehaviors dont eist. Eesert, uninha!ited islands create a great opportunity

for a shipwrec%ed person to find out unusual, original ideas to overcome many o!stacles and difficulties. 9very day might !ring

a new, etraordinary event impossi!le to predict !efore. 6unting wild animals, fishes, growing vegeta!les or !uilding a shelter

and a!ove all, living according to nature and its rules seems to !e very eiting to any!ody. 6uman !eing is only a lin% of

nature and they dont have any possi!ilities to change it. In order to survive human must su!mit themselves to nature. Apartfrom this, relationship with native people ma%es the stories more gripping and remar%a!le. 6ow do castaways manage to go
