Description

A migrant fleet, a million strong, sets sail from Calcutta. Its destination: Europe. As the fleet advances, the continent is submerged under 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 prophesizing 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 more than fifty years ago.

Incredible text, impressive new translation
Format: Paperback
I had never read The Camp of the Saints before, though have been on the right for a long time so had heard it referenced repeatedly. I came in somewhat skeptical being a literature snob and knowing the challenges of writing a good political novel. This exceeded all of my expectations. This is much more than a fable about mass immigration, it is about how we have lost confidence in ourselves and been consumed with suicidal empathy, restructuring our societies around shame of the past instead of pride in who we are while taking a clear-eyed approach to our historic shortcomings. The thematic depth and breadth of this novel and the author's keen insights will stick with your for life. Aspects of this would not seem believable if one had not lived through recent events, most of all the summer of 2020. The whole novel is populated with the sorts of characters you have seen your whole life- ultra wealthy resentful minorities, clueless do-gooders, haters of the commonplace, nihilistic priests, sniveling politicians, etc. The journey of the migrant fleet is a fable, but the portrayal of the society towards which it travels is distressingly realistic. This is a text which should be read by everyone, and it is sad to see it historically mostly restricted to a racialist, anti-immigration fringe of the right wing. It should be noted the book itself is not particularly racist, especially by the standards of an older novel, it is more about culture and discusses how anti-racism and the fear of being seen as racist have paralyzed us as a society. Vauban Books has done the world an enormous service by bringing this news translation into print for a new generation of English readers. Congratulations on them on their success, I know it was a challenge for a small, young publisher to get the rights and get this out and I imagine they had to beg and borrow as many funds as possible, but currently both the soft and hard cover are sold out on Amazon, so congratulations and thank you to the publisher! ... show more

Required reading for all
Format: Paperback
A lot has been said about this book so I won't get into it other than to say I was not disappointed. This book was ahead of its time and predicted the future we are now seeing and experiencing. It should be a must read for all students, but I won't hold my breath on that.

Reads like it came out of the headlines
Format: Paperback
It's almost hard to believe this book was written in the 1970s. The plotline is so current it's scary. Not unlike Orwell's 1984, this book was a uncanny prediction of what was coming. Some will find parts of this book a little challenging to read, I don't know if that's an artifact of the author's style or the translation. Either way, it's worth reading. ... show more

A visionary's work
Format: Paperback
This book at times is grotesque, bizarre, and dare I say even offensive at times. But it is in this uncomfortability that allows us to see the greater meaning that the author is conveying. I don't know about the previous editions, but the Introduction here alone is amazing, you could read that and honestly skip the actual book if you wanted and still grasp all the messages. Too many parallels in this book and progressivism today. A must read for anyone who isn't allowing their life to be controlled by emotions that their leaders dictate. A true test of one's capabilities to grasp the world around them and the society in which we live in is to mention this book in passing, see who doesn't know, see who silently enjoys it (or at the very least understands it), and those who immediately jump to calling it the "Most racist book ever". ... show more

Tough Read and May Be Harder to Find in the Future.
Format: Paperback
A great read for serious readers. Few books in the last 50 years provide a basis for analyzing hard choices, and demonstrating the vapid side of "humanitarian" decisions. Very troubling how hard this was to find in English. Buy a copy before you can no longer find it.

A must read---EXCELLENT BOOK! But took forever to get it!
Format: Paperback
***The book is FANTASTIC, and so right on with everything happening!!! The only reason I knocked a star off, is because it took over a month to get, and I kept getting messages from Amazon asking if I was sure I wanted to get the book--I found that very irritating--I wouldn't have purchased the book if I didn't want it. Almost as if someone was trying to change my mind and not get it. ... show more

Never take your own thoughts for granted
Format: Kindle
This book has made me reexamine how and why I think what I think. Especially about the most mundane subjects. From whom do my thoughts and impulses come? Myself? After reading this book I can no longer say with any certainty.
