Publisher's summary

Après la mort de son père, Michel, fonctionnaire quadragénaire et blasé, décide de partir en Thaïlande pour goûter aux plaisirs exotiques. Il y rencontre Valérie, cadre dans une grande société de voyages, à qui il soufflera sa théorie sur les vraies motivations des Européens en quête de sensations fortes. Embarqué dans la lutte pour le profit à tout prix, où le corps est plus que jamais une marchandise, Michel jette un regard cynique sur la société occidentale. Il sera peut-être surpris de découvrir que l'être humain est encore capable de sentiments.

©2001 Michel Houellebecq / Éditions Flammarion (P)2021 Editions Gallimard

Phenomenal book

This book sounds like a cynical manifesto about a simple life that looks at the world in a very intellectual and deep way understanding that there is very little one can do . in its simplicity it is one of the most philosophical books I have read…. Really funny at moments in its own dark way, and very entertaining with a lot of spicy sexual descriptions.
