Submission: A Novel-投降-屈服

作者：Michel Houellebecq

书名：Submission: A Novel《投降》

中文简介：《屈服》（法语：Soumission，或译《投降》）是法国作家米榭‧韦勒贝克在2015年1月出版的小说，以法国在2022年变成一个伊斯兰国家为背景。《投降》的敏感题材使得它未出版已在法国引起话题，有人批评维勒贝克的“极右惊吓故事”煽动伊斯兰恐惧症。2015年1月7日发生查理周刊总部枪击案后，韦勒贝克停止为自己的新小说宣传。

英文简介：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.
