Ochertaniia poslednego berega - Mishel' Uel'bek

Michel Houellebecq's return to poetry is a real event. Goncourt laureate, author of the world-famous novels "Elementary Particles," "Platform," "Map and Territory," "Submission" released in the 90s three poetry collections, which he considered the best of all written. However, after that almost fifteen years of poems did not publish, and only in 2013 his fourth poetic book "The outlines of the last shore" was published, which immediately became a literary sensation. Love, sex, fear of death, fleeting insights, satirical attacks - the whole poetic tradition is inscribed here today.
Hard, emphatically impartial, mocking Houellebecq opens in verse from an unexpected side, daring to lyrical confession.
This collection includes translations of Houellebecq's poems from the books "The Pursuit of Happiness" (1992), "The Meaning of Struggle" (1996), "Revival" (1999), "The Outlines of the Last Shore" (2013), as well as the essay "Staying Alive" (1991), stylized as a textbook for novice poets.
