Elementary particles
19.99 €
Michel Houellebecq's rise to international fame began a quarter century ago with the publication of his novel "The Elementary Particles." This was followed by the worldwide bestsellers "Platform," "The Possibility of an Island," "Submission," "Serotonin," and "Annihilate," winning the Prix Goncourt and the Legion of Honor.

At the center of this acclaimed novel are the fates of two brothers. Both, each in their own way, persistently seek happiness in a world clearly not designed for happiness. One of them, a biologist, hypothesizes the possibility of radical changes in human genes, which would result in the emergence of a new species of "happy" people. Houellebecq entrusted these thinking beings, unaffected by human weaknesses and delusions, to judge the lives of our contemporaries and succeeded in doing what few have ever accomplished: he genuinely shocked the public. The novel was nominated for the Prix Goncourt but did not win. It did, however, win a kind of anti-Goncourt—the Prix de la Novembre—and was named Best Book of the Year by the prestigious magazine Lire. It is published in a new translation by Maria Zonina.
