Er erinnert sich an die Frauen seines Lebens, begegnet einem alten Studienfreund, der als Landwirt im globalisierten Frankreich um seine Existenz kämpft, und er rechnet ab: mit der modernen Gesellschaft, der Wirtschaft, der Politik - und mit sich selbst. Nie hat Houellebecq so ernsthaft und voller Emotion über die Liebe geschrieben.

L'écriture de l'histoire de la philosophie occidentale n'est pas neutre : une Grèce prétendument fondatrice à l'exclusion des pensées qui la précèdent dans le temps, une domination idéaliste, notamment platonicienne, une tradition qui poursuit ce parti-pris avec le spiritualisme chrétien et l'idéal allemand - l'historiographie dominante est nettement platonicienne.
