"Submission (French: Soumission) is a novel by the French writer Michel Houellebecq. The French edition of the book was published on 7 January 2015 by Flammarion, with German (German: Unterwerfung) and Italian (Italian: Sottomissione) translations also published in January. The book instantly became a bestseller in Italy, Germany and France. The English edition of the book, translated by Lorin Stein, was published on 10 September 2015.
The novel, a political satire, imagines a situation in which a Muslim
party upholding traditionalist and patriarchal values leads the 2022
vote in France and is able to form a government with the support of
France's Islamo-Leftist Socialist Party. The book drew an unusual amount of attention because, by a macabre coincidence, it was released on the day of the Charlie Hebdo shooting.
