Things (50th Anniversary Edition)

About This Novel

If the pursuit of happiness kills happiness, is happiness still worth pursuing? This book is a famous work by the talented French writer Georges Perec. It was first published in 1965 and won the Renaudot Literary Award that year. The novel describes the daily life of a young couple from the middle class, their thoughts on happiness, and the reasons why they cannot obtain this happiness: because happiness is related to the things a person obtains. We can connect Perec's novel to the boom in sociology in the 1960s, which began to discuss the status of isolated individuals in consumer society. However, this issue has never become a theme in literature, and this sociological novel was written because of this.
