Elementary particles. Welbek M.

The ascent of Michel Welbek to world glory began a quarter of a century ago with the release of the novel "Elementary Particles". Then followed the planetary bestsellers “Platform”, “Opportunity of the island”, “humility”, “Serotonin”, “Destroy”, the Goncorov Prize and the Order of the Legion of Honor.

In the center of the sensational novel the fate of the two brothers. Both, each in their own understanding, persistently seek happiness in the world around them, obviously not created for happiness. One of them, a biologist, makes an assumption about the possibility of cardinal changes in human genes, as a result of which a new type of “happy” people should appear. These thinking creatures, not subject to human weaknesses and errors, Uelbek provided to judge the lives of our contemporaries and managed to do what few people succeeded: he really shocked the public.
