LES DOUBLES DU PASSÉ, PRÉSENT ET ÉTERNEL DANS VENDREDI OU LES LIMBES DU PACIFIQUE

Summary/Abstract: Michel Tournier, this “pie thief”1 of the twentieth century, a great admirer of Gaston Bachelard and Claude Levi-Strauss particular interest to the contemporary reader by the way he makes believe that “the myth that fundamental story is a truth that suspects have long been known and is supposed to read only.”2As is his “binary approach” (Le Miroir des idées) which particularly interests us, my study focuses on the double in Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique. I present as well, in this article the positive experience of Robinson, in “The other as a double in Friday or limbo Pacific”. We will ask ourselves concrete double (double person), but to focus on transformation and character development of Friday, the reason for his departure, and the different paths taken by the main character, Friday to reach his goal. We will show how the power of the image of others met along the journey Robinson will influence his quest: the log-book, the mirror of society, and Friday on Robinson. We will also ask ourselves about the purpose of the pursuit of Robinson, on his success / failure and demonstrate solar metamorphosis, spiritual Robinson. Finally, we will explain the importance of the double compared to the work of Michel Tournier.
