"Michel Renault is a human void. Following the death of the father he barely knew, he endures his civil service job while eking out an existence of prepackaged pleasure, hollow friendships, TV dinners, and pornography. On a group holiday in Thailand, however, he meets the shyly compelling Valerie, who soon pursues an agenda that Michel himself could never have thought possible: his own humanization." "Back in Paris, they plunge into an affair that strays into S&M, public sex, and partner swapping, even as they devise a scheme to save Valerie's ailing travel company by capitalizing on the only trade Michel has seen flourish in the third World. Before long, he quits his job, and their business model for "sex tourism" is gradually implemented. But when they return to Thailand, where Michel's philosophy will be put into practice, he discovers that sex is neither the most consuming nor dangerous of passions."--BOOK JACKET Erster TeilTropic Thai......Page 12 1......Page 14 2......Page 24 3......Page 44 4......Page 51 5......Page 58 6......Page 77 7......Page 93 8......Page 107 9......Page 115 10......Page 138 11......Page 164 12......Page 175 Zweiter TeilWettbewerbsvorteil......Page 182 1......Page 184 2......Page 201 3......Page 217 4......Page 232 5......Page 245 6......Page 259 7......Page 281 8......Page 295 9......Page 304 10......Page 328 11......Page 352 12......Page 381 13......Page 398 14......Page 405 15......Page 420 16......Page 429 Dritter TeilPattaya Beach......Page 442 1......Page 444 2......Page 451 3......Page 458 4......Page 463 5......Page 470
