Survival Library: 50 Best Books

The purpose of the book is to say that literature doesn't have to be sweetened, purified, or refined. The best books are often lustful, repulsive, spittle-flecked, obscene; they exploit our morbid curiosity, expose what society would like to disguise, reveal the dark side of our human nature; they produce the beautiful from the vicious, explore limits, cross all boundaries, break taboos. Most importantly: they pry into things that are none of their business. A good book is one that does not instruct. Frédéric Begbeder, in a relaxed and ironic manner, talks about fifty outstanding books and authors that will remain with us for centuries: Philip Roth, Simone de Beauvoir, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Virginie Depant, Octave Moreau, Simon Liberati, Thomas Mann and, of course, Colette. And many others... This is not only a kind of hit parade, but also a real manifesto for literature in its purest and most impure form - a real cure for our time.
