Summary
Michel Houellebecq: Collected Poems
For the first time, the poems of the most famous contemporary French writer are published in Croatian (translation from the French by Maja Zoric). The collection includes songs released in 1996 ("The Meaning of Struggle"), 1997 ("The Pursuit of Happiness") and 1999 ("Rebirth"). This controversial Frenchman is exposed as a "turbo romantic" and an atheist who regrets not believing. He is interested in the apocalyptic state of Western civilization and sexual liberalism which, instead of liberating, crucify freedom into nothingness. Fanatic, cynical, destroyer of all taboos, pleading, angry and perverse, Michel Houellebecq achieves his poetic goal: to express all the misery of life. His poems are not a perfect expression of either the real or the ideal (of God), but an organic work of its own nature, which provides good material for each chapter when it comes to the connection of psychoanalysis and literature.
