This collective volume aims to highlight the philosophical and
literary idea of apocalypse within 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, not omitting theatre,
cinema or music, the concepts of "end of history" and "end of
present time" are specifically examined as conditions for a
redemptive image of the world. To understand this idea is to
understand an essential part of Slavic culture, which, however
divergent and variegated it may be, converges on this specific myth
in a surprising manner.
