In the early eighteenth century, a woman finds herself set adrift from a mutinous ship & cast ashore on a remote desert isl&. There she finds shelter with its only other inhabitants: a man named Cruso & his tongueless slave Friday. In time, she builds a life for herself as Cruso`s companion &, eventually, his lover. At last, they are rescued by a passing ship, but only she & Friday survive the journey back to London.

Treacherous, elegant & unexpectedly moving, Foe remains one of the most exquisitely composed of this pre-eminent author`s works. ...
