520 _a"Dans une France assez proche de la n��tre, un homme s'engage dans la carri��re universitaire. Peu motiv�� par l'enseignement, il s'attend �� une vie ennuyeuse mais calme, prot��g��e des grands drames historiques. Cependant les forces en jeu dans le pays ont fissur�� le syst��me politique jusqu'�� provoquer son effondrement. Cette implosion sans soubresauts, sans vraie r��volution, se d��veloppe comme un mauvais r��ve. Le talent de l'auteur, sa force visionnaire nous entra��nent sur un terrain ambigu et glissant ; son regard sur notre civilisation vieillissante fait coexister dans ce roman les intuitions po��tiques, les effets comiques, une m��lancolie fataliste. Ce livre est une saisissante fable politique et morale."--Page 4 of cover.
520 _aIn France, in the near future, a man works in academia. Not motivated by teaching, he expects a quiet life, studying historical dramas. However, political forces have caused the current goverment to collapse. This implosion doesn't cause a real revolution is a nightmare. The author is a visionary, taking the reader to difficult and slippery ground. His looks at an aging civilization with poetry, humor and fatalistic melancholy. This is a gripping political and moral tale.
520 _aFran��ois, a middle-aged literature professor at Paris III and specialist of Huysmans, feels he is at the end of his career. It has been years since the last time he created any valuable university work. France is in the grip of political crisis. In order to stave off a Front National victory the Socialists ally with the Islamic party and a minor right wing party proposing a charming and physically imposing Islamic candidate for presidency, who wins. He enacts sweeping changes to French laws, privatizing the French University (thereby making Fran��ois redundant with full pension as only Muslims are now allowed to teach there), putting the equality between men and women to an end, allowing polygamy, and enlarges the European Union with the aim of making it a new Roman Empire, with France at its lead.
