Features: Tunier is one of the most popular contemporary French writers. He is not only a talented novelist but also a wise and profound philosopher. Western critics hold his novels and the modern philosophical ideas embedded in them in high esteem, praising him for opening up a new chapter in French fiction with his unique style. The novels written by Tunier are a rewritten version of Robinson Crusoe based on the psychological and philosophical perspectives of Freud, Jung, and Lévi-Strauss. In his works, he explores human experiences and instinctual sexual consciousness in their primitive state. This refined literary work won the prestigious Prix du Roman de l'Académie Fran?aise the year of its publication.
