«Die letzte Welt» is the historical and fantastical novel by Christoph Ransmayr published in 1991 by Fischer Taschenbuch in paperback (317 pages, in German).
Die letzte Welt narrates the journey of Cotta, a Roman citizen who heads to Tomi, on the Black Sea, to find out what became of the poet Ovid, exiled by Emperor Augustus, and to find a copy of the Metamorphoses. There the stories of the poem seem to come to life in characters and landscapes, and the boundary between reality and fiction blurs.
The subtitle is «Mit einem ovidischen Repertoire»; the volume belongs to the Fischer Taschenbücher Allgemeine Reihe series (number 9538).
A work for readers of contemporary literature and for those who enjoy recreations of classical myths.
Christoph Ransmayr is an Austrian writer.
