About this book

Friday by Tournier, Michel. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780801855924.

A highly praised novel―now in a new paperback edition Friday, winner of the 1967 Grand Prix du Roman of the Académie Française, is a sly, enchanting retelling of the legend of Robinson Crusoe by the man the New Yorker calls "Frances best and probably best-known writer." Cast away on a tropical island, Michel Tourniers 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.
