Originally published in France in 1973 and in English translation in 1975 by the distinguished American publisher Charles Scribner Sons, The Camp of the Saints has been described as the 1984 of the late twentieth century. The Social Contract Press is honored to be able to offer a reprint of this gripping novel, which envisions the overrunning of European civilization by burgeoning Third World populations. This new (6th) edition includes an interview with the author, Jean Raspail s comments to the French newspaper Le Figaro near the twenty-fifth anniversary of its publication, a collection of reviews of the book at the time it was first released in the United States, and two additional supplements: Lee Mare s introduction and his translation of Raspail s foreword to the 2011 French edition, titled Big Other. (softcover, 384 pages)

Septentrion by Jean Raspail is a dystopian novel set in the year 2041. Itʼs a story of beauty and sadness, a story of the ugly things that happen in the world, and the courage of an elect few who happen, against all odds, to hold a line, to preserve a culture, a civilization, a way of life that they love and embody, but which is on the verge of extinction, assaulted. The enemy: the demos, the grey masses, todayʼs people. Unwilling to compromise, and unlikely to succeed, they flee – north, the only place left to escape to – on a train, through the dark forests and the snow-clad steppes of Septentrion. 
“The signs were accumulating, all across the north of the country, far from the capital and its golden steeples, without our noticing their exact consequences. Vaguely we understood how, without really knowing why. Everything happened so quickly... We understood barely that a sort of different eternity was advancing rapidly, in an inform and inexorable way. Nothing would be the same, nothing would ever change again, once it happened.” 
“One cannot be a man, fully, from the moment one admits that others exist. For one is no more than a copy, a vague facsimile drawn from a billion examples. One mustnʼt know anything about others, or at least by ruthless choice, unless it is how to invent oneself on oneʼs own, – everything has been so repeated.”

ROBERT LAFFONT

Sur une modeste tombe d'un petit cimetière du Périgord, on peut lire cette épitaphe: Ci-gît Orelie-Antoine Ier, roi de Patagonie, décédé le 18 septembre 1878. La plus étrange épopée qui se puisse concevoir... Durant les vingt-huit années du règne d'Orélie-Antoine, le rève et la réalité se confondent aux bornes extrèmes du monde, là-bas, en Patagonie, au détroit de Magellan. Qui est Antoine de Tounens, roi de Patagonie, conquérant solitaire, obscur avoué périgourdin embarqué sur les flottes de la démesure, son pavillon bleu, blanc, vert claquant aux vents du cap Horn ? Un fou ? Un naïf ? Un mythomane ? Ou plus simplement un homme digne de ce nom, porteur d'un grand destin qu'il poursuivra toute sa vie en dépit des échecs, des trahisons, des sarcasmes qui peupleront son existence... Es-tu roi de Patagonie ? Je le suis ! Il n'en démordra pas. Roi il fut, quelques jours au moins, et toute une vie. Des sujets, il en eut: Quillapan, cacique des Araucans, Calfucura, cacique des Patagons, mais aussi Verlaine, Charles Cros, le commodore Templeton, le général Chabrier, l'amiral Dumont d'Urville, l'astronome Camille Flammarion, le colonel von Pikkendorff, Véronique, reine de Patagonie, aux multiples visages, et tant d'autres, le coeur débordant d'émotion, qui se déclarèrent un jour ou l'autre, l'espace d'un instant, sujets du roi Orélie-Antoine. Car nous sommes tous des Patagons. Là-bas, en Patagonie, l'homme devient roi. Sa longue nuit s'illumine.
