I Robinson italiani

by Emilio Salgari

"I Robinson italiani" by Emilio Salgari is a novel written in 1896. Part of Salgari's "Romanzi in Oceania" series, the work draws clear inspiration from Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. The story follows three Italian characters—Signor Emilio Albani, Enrico, and Piccolo Tonno—who are shipwrecked together on a deserted island. In an unusual choice for Salgari, the protagonists are Italian rather than his typical exotic adventurers, bringing the classic castaway tale closer to home.
