I just finished listening to the free Librivox audiobook of Robinson Crusoe.
It was first published in 1719, but despite the age, it seems remarkably contemporary to me. One theme of the book is to put into sharp focus how meaningless it is to have everything (pounds of gold, all the food you could eat, a large tropical island all for yourself, good health, etc), without human companionship.
