Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The End of the World
But how can that come to pass? We make our plans for years in advance, statesmen for de cades and centuries. Nature round about us, the result of uninterrupted development for millions of years, has vitality for further millions and millions of years. Who could believe that there should ever be an end? Wherefore this evident struggle for ceaseless progress which inspires even inanimate nature; if all is destined to end some day? Wherefore are we all doomed to die? We cannot do better than reply with Mephisto Because everything which exists is worth being destroyed.
