Michel Houellebecq – Atomised – First Edition 2000
£95.00
First UK edition, first printing of Atomised by Michel Houellebecq, published by Heinemann, London, in 2000. A near fine book free from internal inscriptions, with pushing to head and foot of spine, small crease at head of spine, browning and spotting to the text block, some spotting to preliminary pages. In a near fine unclipped dust wrapper, some bumping to the spine tips, knuckles of rear flap fold and chipping to upper knuckle of front flap fold, fading to the spine and light edge wear to extremities.
Atomised by Michel Houellebecq is a controversial and provocative novel that follows the lives of two half-brothers, Michel and Bruno, who are shaped by the cultural and sexual revolutions of the 20th century. Michel, a dispassionate molecular biologist, and Bruno, a sex-obsessed teacher, both struggle with isolation and disillusionment. The novel delves into themes of love, alienation and the decline of Western civilisation, offering a bleak yet incisive critique of modern society and human relationships.
