The novel

In the Delta of Gange, a million “pauper” take by storm of the cargo liners. Those sail then towards an Occident unable to make them modify their road. The boats are failed on the Riviera, under the impotent eye of public authorities disarmed vis-a-vis the spinelessness of the indigenous population and the weakening of the army.

In this novel, which comprises the many ones refer with the Apocalypse of Jean saint, Jean Raspail described the immersion of France. Incapacity so much of the public authorities than of the population to be reacted vis-a-vis this invasion, peaceful, but fraught with consequences for our already old civilization, Raspail drew a tragic joke with the prophetic accents.

It thus denounced there what it considered being a blindness on behalf of a catholic clergy, too favorable in its eyes with the reception of immigrant populations, in front of the modifications that these flows comprise on the nature of a civilization.

In a foreword of 2006, Jean Raspail estimated anything to have to regret of what he had written.
