"Friday," winner of the 1967 Grand Prix du Roman of the
Academie Francaise, 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.
