Forming a controversial alliance with the political left to block the Front National’s alarming ascendency, Ben Abbes sweeps to power, and overnight the country is transformed. This proves to be the death knell of French secularism, as Islamic law comes into force: women are veiled, polygamy is encouraged and, for our narrator François – misanthropic, middle-aged and alienated – life is set on a new course. Submission is a devastating satire, comic and melancholy by turns, and a profound meditation on faith and meaning in Western society.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionTopic: Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
