Friday, winner of the 1967 Grand Prix du Roman of the Acadmie Franaise, is a sly, enchanting retelling of the legend of Robinson Crusoe by the man the New Yorker calls "France's best and probably best-known writer." Cast away on a tropical island, Michel Tournier's god-fearing Crusoe sets out to tame it, to remake it in the image of the civilization he has left behind. Alone and against incredible odds, he almost succeeds. Then a mulatto named Friday appears and teaches Robinson that there are, after all, better things in life than civilization.Tournier, Michel is the author of 'Friday' with ISBN 9780394728803 and ISBN 0394728807.
