In «Galapagos» Kurt Vonnegut gathered several very different characters around quite an extraordinary event – the end of mankind. Reading the author’s text you are plunged into another variation on the apocalypse theme: what will happen to humanity if it’s on the verge of dissapearing, with only a small cohort of men and women left to survive, being isolated on an island of the Galapagos archipelago? In this novel Vonnegut reflects upon this problem. He also ponders over the human nature and modern civilization. And he does it with his characteristic ease – without sadness, but ironically. American critics consider «Galapagos» to be one of the best late novels of Vonnegut. We agree with this opinion and invite everyone in this extraordinary world of «the last day of humanity and after a few hundred thousand years».
