What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Mehr als 5 Jahre nach seinem letzten Roman ("Die Möglichkeit einer Insel") zeigt sich der einstige Skandalautor erstaunlich leise und weise. Im Mittelpunkt seines Künstlerromans steht Jed Martin, der zunächst mit Fotografien von Michelin-Landkarten und später mit Gemälden den Kunstmarkt erobert. Für das Vorwort zu einem Katalog seiner Werke versucht er den Autor Houellebecq zu gewinnen. Beide erweisen sich als wesensverwandt in ihrer stillen Desillusioniertheit. Lange Erörterungen über Literatur und Kunst bekommen dadurch eine ironische Note, dass und wie der Autor reale Prominenz (etwa Frédéric Beigbeder) in die Handlung einbezieht und auch die (Selbst-)Darstellung Houellebecqs entbehrt nicht einer durchaus gewollten Komik. Das Ende ist ambivalent, einem spektakulären Mord samt bizarrer Zerstückelung der Leiche folgt ein Ausblick in eine ebenso friedliche wie provinzielle Zukunft. Für seinen bisher abgeklärtesten, stilistisch virtuosen Roman erhielt Houellebecq den Prix Goncourt und einiges Lob in den großen deutschen Feuilletons.
