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. 606 $aEnd of the world 606 $aApocalypse in art 606 $aApocalypse in literature 606 $aApocalypse in motion pictures 610 $aliterature 610 $aoryx and crake 610 $amargaret atwood 610 $acultural studies 610 $adouglas adams 610 $aterminator 610 $ablade runner 610 $ageorge orwell 610 $aapocalypse 610 $aaldous huxley 610 $ajohn wyndham 610 $anineteen eighty-four 610 $a1984 610 $abrave new world 610 $afilm studies 610 $aarmageddon 610 $aharry potter 610 $aUtopia 615 0$aEnd of the world. 615 0$aApocalypse in art. 615 0$aApocalypse in literature. 615 0$aApocalypse in motion pictures. 676 $a809.93382 700 $aLisboa$b Maria Manuel$0801196 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996205295203316 996 $aThe end of the world$91990994 997 $aUNISA
