The route taken by Robinson Crusoe over the Pyrenees mountains in chapters 19 & 20 of Defoe's novel, as envisaged by Joseph Ribas

Summary[edit]

Description
English: In chapters 19 and 20 of Daniel Defoe's world-famous 1719 novel, "Robinson Crusoe", Crusoe and his companions make a perilous winter crossing of the Pyrenees mountains, from Pamplona in Spain to Toulouse in France. They escape an encounter with a bear, and then they have to fight off 300 ravenous wolves. This image shows the possible route that Defoe envisaged for Crusoe's journey across the Pyrenees mountains. The route was mapped out, using information in the novel, by Joseph Ribas in his 1995 book "Robinson Crusoé dans les Pyrénées".
