What are some famous 'world end novel' examples?

One famous example is 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen. It's a classic that explores themes of love, marriage, and social class in 19th - century England. The relationship between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy is well - known and has been adapted into many films and TV shows.

A well - known 'end of the world' novel is 'Alas, Babylon' by Pat Frank. This novel focuses on how a small town in Florida tries to survive after a nuclear exchange. It delves into themes like community, resource management, and human nature in the face of destruction. Also, 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' by Walter M. Miller Jr. is a great one. It's set in a post - apocalyptic world where the Catholic Church plays a major role in preserving knowledge over centuries.

Another is 'The Mayan Prophecy 2012 and the Shift of the Ages' by Carl Johan Calleman. It draws on Mayan prophecies related to 2012 and weaves them into a story that speculates about the end of the world and what might come after.

The story of the asteroid hitting the Earth. Scientists detect a huge asteroid on a collision course with our planet but are unable to stop it. As it gets closer, there are massive tidal waves, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. Cities are destroyed, and the sky is filled with dust and debris, blocking out the sun and causing a global winter that ends most life on Earth.

There are quite a few well - known 'outsider novels'. 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck can be considered one. Lennie and George are outsiders in a way, constantly on the move and not really fitting into the society of ranch workers. Also, 'Invisible Man' by Ralph Ellison. The unnamed narrator is an African - American man in a society that often makes him feel invisible and like an outsider due to racial discrimination.

One famous 'capital novel' could be 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens. It is set in London, which is a major capital city. The story follows Pip's journey from a young boy with humble beginnings to a gentleman, exploring themes of class, love, and ambition.

One example could be 'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle' by Haruki Murakami. In this novel, there are certain elements that seem to be left 'blank' in a sense, like the open - ended nature of some of the mysteries. Another could be James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake' which has a complex and often ambiguous structure that can be seen as having 'blank' spaces in terms of straightforward narrative understanding. Also, Virginia Woolf's 'To the Lighthouse' has moments where the narrative seems to skip or leave things unsaid, creating a kind of 'blank' in the story.

One example could be 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov. The character of Lolita can be seen as a victim in many ways. Another is 'The Color Purple' by Alice Walker, where Celie is a victim of abuse and racism.

One famous example is 'Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell' by Susanna Clarke. It's set in an alternate version of 19th - century England where magic exists. Another is 'The Mists of Avalon' by Marion Zimmer Bradley which weaves magic into the Arthurian legend within a historical context.

Some other examples are 'The Twilight of the Gods'. In Norse - inspired fictions, this name represents the end of the gods and the world. It often involves a great battle and destruction. 'Eternal Night' is also an 'end of the world' name in fiction. It can be used to describe a situation where the sun has been extinguished or blocked, leading to a world in permanent darkness and chaos. And 'The Great Silence' can be used to signify a world that has been so devastated that there is no more life or activity, a truly end - of - the - world scenario.
