This collective volume aims to highlight the philosophical and
literary idea of apocalypse, within some key examples in the Slavic
world during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From Russian
realism to avant-garde painting, from the classic fiction of the
nineteenth century to twentieth-century philosophy, and not
omitting theatre, cinema or music, there is a specific examination
of the concepts of "end of history" and "end of present time" as
conditions for a redemptive image of the world. To understand this
idea means to understand an essential part of Slavic culture,
which, however divergent and variegated it may be in general,
converges on this specific myth in a surprising manner.
