Shapes of Apocalypse: Arts and Philosophy in Slavic Thought - Myths and Taboos in Russian Culture
Andrea Oppo
Highlights 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, to 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.
