米歇尔·图尔尼埃(1924-),法国当代文学大师,当代著名的新寓言派文学的主将。他不仅是才华横溢的小说家,而且是睿智深刻的哲学家。西方批评界对他的小说以及融汇在小说中的现代哲学思想推崇备至,评价极高,认为他以自己独特的风格为法国小说开创了新局面。《礼拜五或太平洋上的灵薄狱》是他的代表作之一,发表当年即获法兰西学院文学大奖。《礼拜五或太平洋上的灵薄狱》是一篇“现代文明衰亡记”的寓言,它戏仿笛福的名著《鲁滨孙漂流记》的题材,在主题上却反其道而行之。鲁滨孙孤独一人被弃荒岛后,按西方文明社会的模式将荒岛治理得井井有条。礼拜五来到荒岛后,非但没有被驯化为鲁滨孙的奴隶,反而以其自然的天性将文明的迹象破坏得一干二净,同时也慢慢影响了鲁滨孙,使这个西方文明的代表逐步抛弃了原有的文化传统,变成了一个能
