«The Last World» is Christoph Ransmayr's utopian novel, published by Paladin in 1991 in paperback, in English.
The novel imagines a world where antiquity intersects with an unknown future: a fire destroys Ovid's Metamorphoses, a voice on the phone mentions the emperor's wrath, and the poet appears before an array of microphones and citizens of Rome. Ransmayr fuses myths, memory, and reality in a disquieting atmosphere.
English translation of «Die letzte Welt», the original German novel published in 1988. This edition carries the subtitle «With an Ovidian Repertory».
For readers proficient in English who enjoy historical fiction, classics, and contemporary literature with mythological roots.
