Пятница, или Дикая жизнь (Классика Самоката)

It offers a fresh perspective on a classic story, but I wonder what motivated Michel Tournier to focus on Friday’s experience and voice.

The book seems to explore themes of identity and cultural encounter alongside the adventure. How did these elements impact your reading experience?

Knowing Tournier's background, I’m curious whether the narrative reflects specific French literary traditions or philosophies.
