Its discussion moves effortlessly from classic novels including Aldous Huxleys Brave New World, George Orwells Nineteen Eighty-Four and Margaret Atwoods Oryx and Crake, to blockbuster films such as Blade Runner, Armageddon and The Terminator. The author also takes into account religious doctrine, scientific research and the visual arts to create a penetrating, multi-disciplinary study that provides profound insight into one of Western cultures darkest and most enduring preoccupations.End of the worldApocalypse in artApocalypse in literatureApocalypse in motion picturesliteratureoryx and crakemargaret atwoodcultural studiesdouglas adamsterminatorblade runnergeorge orwellapocalypsealdous huxleyjohn wyndhamnineteen eighty-four1984brave new worldfilm studiesarmageddonharry potterUtopiaEnd of the world.Apocalypse in art.Apocalypse in literature.Apocalypse in motion pictures.809.93382Lisboa Maria Manuel801196MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996205295203316The end of the world1990994UNISA
