Resumen
This study consists of the approach of the travel writing from the perspective of two
authors - Daniel Defoe, in the eighteenth century, and John Maxwell Coetzee, in the
twentieth century. It establishes, through comparativism, the textual and historical
relations between their respective works, Robinson Crusoe (1719) and Foe (1986).
The novel Foe appears as a contemporary reinterpretation of the travel narrative
genre which had already been developed in Robinson Crusoe, an earlier of this
thematic category. Coetzee takes over the classic work establishing reflections
concerning the colonial context in which Defoe wrote his work. Thus Coetzee takes a
new look at the theme under the focus of the post-colonialism approach. This
perspective reflects the way of writing the text, so the genre, reflection of the image
of a period, ends up being rebuilt, according to the post-modern perspective.
