Friday and Robinson: life on Speranza Island by Michel Tournier Knopf 1972
Title: Friday and Robinson: life on Speranza Island
Author: Michel Tournier
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Knopf 1972
ISBN 10: 0394924142
Size: 6.5 X 9.25 * 118 pages
Synopsis: From the Jacket: A solitary man stands on a lonely beach, gazing out at a shipwreck which he has miraculously survived. He must now face an untamed island and conquer nature to exist. The man is called Robinson. Thus the scene is set for the familiar Robinson Crusoe theme-but this is not just another retelling.
The author, Michel Tournier, soon departs from the traditional story and gives it a fresh and totally relevant life. It is the old tale, but told with new action and insights, carrying Robinson through both physical and psychological experiences on Speranza Island. A most unexpected twist occurs in the master/slave relationship of Robinson and the Indian, Friday, when their roles are curiously reversed.
With skill, Michel Tournier weaves a clever and fascinating story for readers, young and old.
