Карта и территория

Goncourt laureate Michel Houellebecq in two decades has turned from a subversive of the foundations into a living classic. After the acclaimed "Elementary Particles", he released the famous novels "Platform", "The Possibility of the Island", "Submission", numerous essays and collections of poems, and each of his books has consistently become a bestseller.
"Map and Territory" is a drama of modern world, from which man is gradually being squeezed out. Next to the fictional character - the artist Jed Martin - Houellebecq also portrayed himself, for the first time lifting the veil of secrecy over his daily life. The story of Jed, his love, creativity and success, intersects in the novel with the fate of the author. One of the surprises of the plot - in the spirit of Houellebecq's ironic fantasy - is an incredible criminal intrigue. The book was awarded the Prix Goncourt (2010).18+
