Description
Submission by Michel Houellebecq As the 2022 French Presidential election approaches, two candidates emerge as favourites: Marine Le Pen of the Front National, and the charismatic Muhammed Ben Abbes of the growing Muslim Fraternity. This unexpected alliance between Ben Abbes and the political left proves to be a turning point in French history, as Islamic law is introduced and the country undergoes a profound transformation. The result is a society where women are veiled, polygamy is encouraged, and life is set on a new course. For the narrator, Françoise, a misanthropic and middle-aged man, this new reality is a devastating blow, forcing him to confront the meaning of faith and his place in Western society. A devastating satire, comic and melancholy by turns, Submission is a profound meditation on the complexities of faith and identity in modern society.
