Robinson Crusoe (excerpt)
I then proceeded to build some furniture that was essential to me, such as a table and a chair, without which I could not write or eat comfortably. For this, I used pieces of the planks I had brought from the ship. I also placed planks along the walls of the cave, a foot and a half wide, on which I arranged my tools, nails and hardware, so that I could find them easily. I drove some pegs into the walls to hang my shotguns and other appropriate objects. In this way, the cave took on the appearance of a bazaar where one could find the most useful things.
Settled in this way in my dwelling, surrounded by some furniture that provided me with comfort, such as a table and chair, I was able to start writing a diary, which I continued until the ink ran out.
