Michel Houellebecq in his novels Platform (2001), Map and territory (2010) and Submission (2015) shows the struggles of a man trying to find his place in the modern world. Author’s alter egos – writer, painter, clerk of the Ministry of Culture, researcher in literary studies, witness a deep crisis that heralds the end of Europe. Unbridled consumption, clumsy journalists, crisis of democracy and Church’s institution are leading to the collapse of the old world. The prospect of being absorbed by Muslims, led by an extremely skilled politician, confirms Houellebecq’s talent, arousing anxiety and opposition.
