Pascal Bruckner, a contemporary French writer, has long been well known in Russia. Some of his novels have been screened and also had great success (for example, "Bitter Moon"). "Beauty Snatchers" is an exciting thriller that does not let the reader go until the last page. In spirit, this book is something between Fowles' "The Collector" and Molinet's "Belladonna," only it is even more eventful and suspenseful. "Beauty is the ultimate injustice. By their mere appearance, beautiful people belittle us, cut us out of life - why do they get everything and we get nothing?...? And now, gentlemen, think: if you, like me, are ready to recognize that beauty is an abomination and a crime against humanity, we must draw conclusions. Beautiful people are an insult to us, and therefore must be punished..."
