The ability of the island. Welbek M.

One of the most famous novels of the French writer Michel Welbek has been causing the invariable interest of readers around the world for almost two decades.

The novel cannot be called history in the usual sense (and the author does not consider himself a “storyteller” at all) , the narrative seems to be woven from many threads. There is an eternal story about love, and signs of the present (show business, totalitarian sects), and a fantastic and frighteningly convincing picture of the future, in which there are neoludi-direct cloned descendants of modern people, “looking at the world with understanding, but without participation”, not knowing pain and suffering,

whose life is well -being, but for some reason it is unbearable.

This telephone between the present and the future is introduced with such cinematic accuracy that it shocks and fascinates, turns the established representations About the structure of the world and society, perhaps even erasing the line between reality and fiction.
