书籍介绍
Half-brothers Michel and Bruno have a mother in common but little else. Michel is a molecular biologist, a thinker and idealist, a man with no erotic life to speak of and little in the way of human society. Bruno, by contrast, is a libertine, though more in theory than in practice, his endless lust is all too rarely reciprocated. Both are symptomatic members of our atomised society, where religion has given way to shallow 'new age' philosophies and love to meaningless sexual connections. Atomised (Les Particules elementaires) tells the stories of the two brothers, but the real subject of the novel is in its dismantling of contemporary society and its assumptions, in its political incorrectness, and its caustic and penetrating asides on everything from anthropology to the problem pages of girls' magazines. A dissection of modern lives and loves. By turns funny, acid, infuriating, didactic, touching and visceral.

精彩摘录
- "动物社会实际都是按一种支配制度运转的，而这种支配制度是与各成员的体力相联系的。其特征是严格的等级划分：群体中最强壮的雄性动物称为“阿尔法”动物；体力二等的动物称为“贝塔”动物，以此类推，末等动物叫做“欧米伽”动物。 等级次序的排列一般是通过格斗仪式决定的。等级低的动物试图改善自己的地位，向等级高的动物发起挑衅，因为它们知道，一旦取得胜利，它们的地位就会改变。高等级想有某些特权，如头一个进食，与群体中的所有雌性交配。不过，最弱小的动物一般可以采取顺从的姿态（如蹲下，露出臀部），而避免格斗。布吕诺的处境还更糟。暴力和支配在动物社会司空见惯，黑猩猩（黑猩猩属）群体中，会针对最弱小动物无故施虐。这种倾"

- "如今这一切都不存在了。我是拿工资的，租房子住，没有任何东西可让儿子继承，没有任何职业要传承给他，甚至不知道他以后可能干什么。我所了解的习俗对他无论如何没有用处了，他将生活在另一个世界。接受不断变化的观念，就是接受把一个人的一生严格限制为个人的存在，过去和未来的一代代人在他眼里不再有任何重要性。"
- "Historically, such human beings have existed. Human beings who have worked -- worked hard -- all their lives with no motive other than love and devotion, who have literally given their lives for others, out of love and devotion; human beings who have no sense of having made any sacrifice, who cannot"

The impression of a coming mutation in society in its opening pages is finally given precise formulation on page 17. Michel considered for hours the lines that summed u"
- ""You know what Nietzsche said about Shakespeare, Sophie?" said Bruno. "The man must have suffered greatly to have such passion for playing the fool!" Personally, I've always thought that Shakespeare was overrated, but now that I think about it, he is a big fool. " He stopped and realized to his surp"

- ""In this space of which they are so afraid, human beings learn how to live and to die; in their mental space, separation, distance and suffering are born. There is little to add to this: the lover hears his beloved's voice over mountains and oceans; over mountains and oceans a mother hears the cry o"
