Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

The End of the World News is a 1982 novel by British author Anthony Burgess. Presented without chapter breaks, the novel weaves together three stories: A visit of Leon Trotsky to New York City in 1917 shortly before the Russian Revolution. The story is written as the libretto of a Broadway musical. A brief biography of Sigmund Freud based on fictionalised dialogues with his family, and his psychiatry and psychoanalysis contemporaries (e.g. Theodor Meynert, Havelock Ellis, Ernest Jones, Carl Jung, Alfred Adler and Otto Rank). The biography is a non-chronological narrative, beginning with his emigration from Vienna shortly before World War II. A fantastic tale, set in the future, of the end of the world caused by an extrasolar planet, named Lynx, colliding with the Earth. The novel is presented as a chronicle told to children in the far future.
