A migrant fleet, a million strong, sets sail from Calcutta. Its destination: Europe. As the fleet advances, the continent is submerged by a torrent of words. Will the old nations of Europe resist the migrants or welcome them? Honor their past or embrace the radiant future? Open fire or open their hearts?
Enthusiasm, delusion, cowardice. And, finally, panic. The migrants make landfall...First published in 1973, Jean Raspail's The Camp of the Saints ranks among the great dystopian novels of the twentieth century. Long out of print in translation, it is often hailed as prophesying the mass migrations of our own day. The present edition contains an introduction by the scholar of French political thought Nathan Pinkoski, the 2011 preface that Raspail wrote by way of final testament for the book, and an original translation by Ethan Rundell.For the first time available in English after years of neglect, this edition will allow a new generation of readers to pose Raspail's questions for themselves and measure the distance we have come - or not come - since the book was first published over fifty years ago.
