The exploration of personal journeys in the face of technological encroachment is central to both works. In Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique, Michel Tournier leads a character to an island, prompting not only survival but also self-discovery. Similarly, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio's Désert presents a parallel theme, where physical displacement initiates a deeper quest for meaning. Both authors emphasize how external journeys can catalyze profound internal transformations, highlighting the characters' evolving relationships with the world around them.
