Description
Last and First Men: A Story of the Near and Far Future—a novel from 1930. Russian translation: — O. Kolesnikov (Last and First Men; The Last and First Men: A Story of the Near and Far Future); 2004. Read by Daniel Che in 2024.
“Last and First Men” is the most famous work by Olaf Stapledon, a master of English social-philosophical literature of the first half of the 20th century.
A story of humankind—from bygone days to a distant future. From wars and scattered countries to the world and the emergence of a Unified State. The formation of new cultures, new customs, and more. From the present to the impending death of our world; from the creation of the Universe to its irreversible destruction. Stapledon’s eschatological philosophical concept—related in some ways to visionary writing, and in some ways to para-anthropology—is expressed to the greatest extent specifically in these parable-like works, which had a notable influence on the creativity of Lévi-Strauss and Richard Bach.
