«La plage» is the adventure and suspense novel by Alex Garland, published by Hachette Littérature in paperback (545 pages, in French).
Three backpackers search Thailand for an idyllic beach known only through a rumour. The beach they find is occupied by a New Age community living by strict rules, isolated from the outside world. The community's apparent harmony breaks when the outside world infiltrates the group and jealousy and grudges lead to violence.
The French edition was released on 2 February 2000. The original work, «The Beach», was published in 1996 and received the Betty Trask Award.
For readers of travel fiction and thrillers seeking a story about seemingly perfect paradises and their dark side.
