| description | The novel Vendredi or Les Limbes du Pacifique by Michel Tournier retells from a new and surprising perspective one of the greatest myths of modernity: the story of Robinson Crusoe. As the title indicates, the indigenous, Friday, leaves his secondary role in the adventures of the shipwrecked to assume an important and central role in the narrative. Tournier not only constructs his character in a fascinating way but also, using parody, calls the attention to the prejudiced view turned to the primitive man characterized in the work by Daniel Defoe. Showing strong personality, Vendredi’s conception comes from the noblest sources of the history of universal literature: Greek culture and the Bildungsroman. Sources that influenced and revolutionized, each one at its time, the way man thinks about literature.

O romance de Michel Tournier, Vendredi ou Les Limbes du Pacifique, reconta, a partir de uma perspectiva nova e surpreendente, um dos grandes mitos da modernidade: a história de Robinson Crusoe. Como o próprio título indica, o indígena Sexta-Feira deixa de desempenhar um papel secundário nas aventuras do náufrago e adquire uma importância fundamental. Tournier não apenas caracteriza a personagem de modo fascinante, como também, através da paródia, chama a atenção para o olhar preconceituoso, dirigido ao homem primitivo na obra de Defoe. Além de uma personalidade marcante, a composição de Vendredi tem origens em algumas das fontes mais nobres da história da literatura universal: a cultura grega e o Bildungsroman. Fontes que influenciaram e revolucionaram, cada uma a seu tempo, a forma de o homem pensar a literatura. Palavras-chave: Michel Tournier. Vendredi. Robinson Crusoe. Mitologia.
