Francia, elecciones presidenciales de 2022. Mohammed Ben Abbes, islamista moderado, derrota a la candidata del Frente Nacional en la segunda vuelta. François, un profesor universitario hastiado de la docencia y de su vida sexual, ve cómo una rápida transformación altera la vida de los franceses. Los judíos han emigrado a Israel, las mujeres han cambiado las faldas por conjuntos de blusa larga y pantalón y algunos comercios han cerrado las puertas o reorientado el negocio. Y la Sorbona es ahora una universidad islámica en la que los profesores conversos gozan de excelentes salarios y tienen derecho a la poligamia. Al igual que Huysmans, el escritor convertido al catolicismo al que consagró su tesis, François sopesará pronunciar las palabras que le abrirán las puertas del islam y de una nueva vida: «No hay sino un dios y Mahoma es su profeta.»

Una novela de «política ficción» –como 1984 y Un mundo feliz–, una turbadora fábula política y moral, en la que coexisten intuiciones poéticas, efectos cómicos y una melancolía fatalista.

Work Description

It’s 2022. François is bored. He’s a middle-aged lecturer at the New Sorbonne University and an expert on J. K. Huysmans, the famed nineteenth-century novelist associated with the Decadent movement. But François’s own decadence is of considerably smaller scale. He sleeps with his students, eats microwave dinners, and watches YouPorn.

Meanwhile, it’s election season, and in an alliance with the Socialists, France’s new Islamic party sweeps to power―and Islamic law is instituted. Women are veiled, polygamy is encouraged, and François is offered an irresistible academic advancement―on the condition that he converts to Islam.

A darkly comic masterpiece from one of France’s great writers, Submission by Michel Houellebecq has become an international sensation and one of the most discussed novels of our time.
