Politika fikziozko eleberri bat da, une poetikoak, komikoak eta melodramatikoak biltzen dituen fabula politiko eta morala. Houellebecq-ek gogoeta egiten du mende hasierako gizaki guztiok geure bizitzan sumatzen ari garen eraldaketa sakonaren inguruan.

Michel is a civil-servant at the Ministry of Culture. When his father is murdered, Michel takes leave of absence to go on a package tour to Thailand. Infuriated by the shallow hypocrisy and mediocrity of his fellow travellers, only the awkward Valerie attracts his attention. Too bashful to pursue her, Michel prefers the uncomplicated pleasures of Thai massage parlours and sex with local women. Back in Paris, he calls Valerie and they plunge into a passionate affair, which strays into S&M, partner-swapping and sex in public. Michel quits his job, and tries to help Valerie and her boss, Jean-Yves, in their ailing travel business, by offering travel packages based on sex tourism in the third world. When their project comes to fruition and the three return to Thailand, Michel discovers that sex is neither the most consuming nor the most dangerous of human passions
In the follow-up to his hugely successful and Impac award-winning Atomised, Michel Houellebecq explores the hedonism of Lanzarote, the archetypal holiday island, in a book that is as blisteringly funny and acid as his novel. In the sector of the holiday market that caters for sun, sangria and house music, not to mention sex, Lanzarote rivals Corfu and Ibiza. Tourism in Lanzarote remains resolutely ungreen and certainly wholly uncultural, 21st century hedonism, set in a bizarre lunar landscape - Martian, according to the travel agent. On Lanzarote, one can meet some fascinating human specimens - notably Pam and Barbara, ''non-exclusive'' German lesbians - who can give rise to some interesting combinations. Will they succeed in seducing Rudi, the police inspector from Luxembourg, currently living in exile in Brussels. Or will he join the ''azraelian'' sect, as they prepare for humanity to be regenerated by extra-terrestrials? As for our narrator, will he consider his week''s holiday on the island a success?
Autor de la Llamada de Cthulhu, Dagón y En las montañas de la locura, H.P. Lovecraft, maestro indiscutible del horror y de lo fantástico, sigue siendo objeto de una fascinación muy especial por parte de nuestros contemporaneos. Fue un hombre extraño, al igual que sus escritos. A pesar de haber nacido en una ciudad portuaria, sintio siempre autentica fobia al mar. Profundamente apatico, hostil a todos los valores dle mundo moderno y, a fin de cuentas, de un racismo visceral, sufrio durante toda su vida pesadillas recurrentes. Su intento de llevar una vida normal se saldo con un fracaso. Michel Houellebecq recorre un itinerario fuera de lo comun, saludando en Lovecraft al autor de un mito fundador, y extrae de sus escritos un alegato en favor de una literatura vertiginosa, "yuxtaposicion de lo minucioso y lo ilimitado, de lo puntual y lo infinito".
