Status Updates From Przypadki Robinsona Kruzoe

Endelig dukket Fredag opp, og boken avslører at han er en karib "nasjon" (urfolk stamme) som bodde mellom Nord-Colombia til Ceará, det vil si, i det nordlige Sør-Amerika. Hovedpersonen beskriver ham veldig godt, og trekker et skille mellom ham og tupiene, som om tupiene var mørkere, mer fjernt fra den europeiske formen. Jeg syntes at han ga tips om homofili.

The most covetous, griping miser in the world would have been cured of the vice of covetousness if he had been in my case; for I possessed infinitely more than I knew what to do with. [...]

I frequently sat down to meet with thankfulness, [...] and to consider what I enjoyed rather than what I wanted; and this gave me sometimes such secret comforts, that I cannot express them.

I entertained different notions of things. I looked now upon the world as a thing remote, which I had nothing to do with, no expectations from, and, indeed, no desires about: [...] as Father Abraham to Dives, "Between me and thee is a great gulf fixed."
