Publisher's Synopsis

Omega: The Last Days Of The World is a science fiction novel written by French astronomer and author, Camille Flammarion, first published in 1894. The book is set in the year 25,000 AD and the story revolves around a man named Claude, who is a scientist and philosopher. He predicts that the end of the world is near and that the Earth will collide with a comet. The novel is divided into two parts. The first part describes the scientific and philosophical theories behind the end of the world, while the second part describes the events leading up to the collision and the aftermath. Flammarion uses his knowledge of astronomy and physics to create a vivid and realistic portrayal of the end of the world. Omega: The Last Days Of The World is not just a science fiction novel, but also a philosophical treatise on the nature of life, death, and the meaning of existence. Flammarion explores the idea of the universe as a living organism and the interconnectedness of all things. Overall, Omega: The Last Days Of The World is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that combines science and philosophy to create a unique and compelling story. It is a must-read for fans of science fiction and those interested in exploring the deeper questions of life and existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
