Nobel Laureate & two-time Booker prize-winning author of Disgrace" & " The Life & Times of Michael K" J. M. Coetzee reimagines Daniel De Foe's classic novel " Robinson Crusoe in Foe". In an act of breathtaking imagination J.M Coetzee radically reinvents the story of Robinson Crusoe. In the early eighteenth century Susan Barton finds herself 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. Determined to have her story told she pursues the eminent man of letters Daniel Foe in the hope that he will relate truthfully her memories to the world. But with Cruso dead Friday incapable of speech & Foe himself intent on reshaping her narrative Barton struggles to maintain her grip on the past only to fall victim to the seduction of storytelling itself. Treacherous elegant & unexpectedly moving Foe remains one of the most exquisitely composed of this pre-eminent author's works. "A small miracle of a book...of marvellous intricacy & overwhelming power". (" Washington Post"). "A superb novel". (" The New York Times"). South African author J. M. Coetzee was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2003 & was the first author to win the Booker Prize twice for his novels " Disgrace" & " The Life & Times of Michael K". His novel set during the South African apartheid " Age of Iron" winner of the " Sunday Express" Book of the Year award is also available in Penguin paperback." ...
