Foe

Synopsis

J.M. Coetzee radically reinvents the story of Robinson Crusoe. In the early eighteenth century, Susan Barton is washed ashore on a remote desert island. There she encounters a man named Cruso and his silent servant, Friday. Far from civilization, she has no choice but to join these castaways - until the day a passing ship offers the chance of rescue. On arriving in London, Susan decides to tell her story and seeks help from the well-known author Daniel Foe.
