Will a person have the courage after a shipwreck to go on a sea voyage again? Will he be able to live on a desert island for twenty-eight years, two months and nineteen days? Adventure literature has always attracted the artist Igor Ilyinsky. He illustrated Mine Reed and Anatoly Rybakov, Fenimore Cooper and the Strugatsky brothers. And the story of Robinson Crusoe could hardly leave indifferent the artist - a connoisseur of historical eras, an erudite, a master of reliable details. And Defoe's hero sews a costume for himself out of goat skins, makes an umbrella, digs a garden without a shovel, builds a boat with the help of one ax - and the wild island turns into a flowering garden with his labors.
