«Soumission» is Michel Houellebecq's dystopian novel, published by J'ai lu in paperback (320 pages, in French).
In a France very similar to the present day, a university professor disillusioned with teaching witnesses the collapse of the political system and the electoral victory of a Muslim party. The novel follows his reaction to the new social order and interweaves satire, reflection on politics and religion, and a melancholy look at the decline of the West.
The work was originally published in 2015; this edition belongs to the Littérature française collection (no. 11631) from J'ai lu.
For readers of political and dystopian fiction interested in contemporary French literature.
