Paperback. Condition: New. In the evening of September 29, 1759, a cargo ship runs aground and is wrecked in a violent storm. There is only one survivor, a young Englishman travelling to South America to seek his fortune. His name? Robinson Crusoe. This is the ultimate "desert island" story - a tale of one man's struggle to survive on an untamed island. It is a tale of ingenuity and endurance, as Robinson tries to establish himself as ruler of his natural surroundings. The story has been told and retold many times, but here Michel Tournier offers a entirely new version. At its heart is the relationship between Robinson and the Indian he rescues, Friday. The two begin conventionally enough, as master and slave, but the roles are to shift dramatically.

Winner of the prestigious Prix Goncourt, the novel is often described by reviewers as a "tour de force" that is both beautiful and deeply disturbing. The novel follows Abel Tiffauges, a man who views his life through a lens of personal and ancient myths. Many reviewers, such as those on Goodreads, praise the book's ability to weave history with the Germanic legend of the "Erl-King". Critics frequently compare it to G?nter Grass's The Tin Drum for its profound exploration of how an individual's eccentricities can align with??nd be perverted by??otalitarian ideology. : Some literary critics, as noted in the Literary Review, have described it as one of the most important French books since Proust, lamenting that such a "dense, batty novel" ha.
