Charles Buffet's book "The Truth about Robinson and Friday" opens the series "Grand Expeditions in Small Format". For 20 years, the author has chronicled his travels for daily newspapers ("Liberation", "Le Monde") and specialized publications, as well as published reports on his wanderings in geographical magazines ("Geo", "XXI"). Buffet writes books about mountaineers, adventurers, and famous explorers of the planet.
For this book, the author, fascinated by the story of the "real" Robinson, found and translated the original accounts of witnesses of the time: Woods Rogers, William Funnel, John Welb, Basil Ringrose, and William Dampier. He comments on them in order to better understand the incredible experience of the sailor Alexander Selkirk, which became for centuries one of the most powerful and vivid stories thanks to the pen of Daniel Defoe.
