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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Johns Hopkins University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45254103466037,"sku":"ByrdShop_0801855926","price":30.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780801855924_4b57f365-ea1c-4a1e-aaae-58faec3115d5.jpg?v=1779954249","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/friday-9780801855924","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
