Preface to The Camp of the Saints by Jean Raspail Translated by Gerda Bikales*
Published for the first time in 1973, Camp of the Saints is a novel that anticipates a situation which seems plausible today and foresees a threat that no longer seems unbelievable to anyone: it describes the peaceful invasion of France, and then of the West, by a third world burgeoned into multitudes. At all levels global consciousness, governments, societies, and especially every person within himself the question is asked belatedly: what's to be done? |
