Friday, or, The Other Island

Friday, or, The Other Island is a 1967 novel by French writer Michel Tournier. It retells Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.

Plot
The young Robinson Crusoe is shipwrecked on a desert island that he names Speranza (Hope). Crusoe tries to civilize and control the nature of the island, but is redeemed by the appearance of an "Araucanian" whom he names Friday. Because of the deep change that happens in Crusoe during the stay, he finally decides not to leave the island, but Friday leaves. In some versions, he leaves the island though. ==Reception==
Reception
One review of Friday and Robinson, by Kirkus Reviews, described it as possibly attracting "young people" interested in philosophical debate, and that the "condensed form" makes the story easier to digest though that it also "places some limitations on Tournier's flights of profundity". Millicent Lenz, in the ''Children's Literature Association Quarterly, wrote that Friday and Robinson'' used "terms meaningful to children." ==See also ==
