摘要：

Novels about the End of Time are quite usual in many countries' literary body of work, but not so in Spain. These novels are narratives in which the author will put Mankind under judgment before making it disappear. It is most common, based on a principle of unlimited progress of civilization, that this idea will eventually give way to argue the opposite, and therefore the big question arises: Does Mankind perish by accident or because of their actions? In the two novels we shall review, it is bound to perish by misfortune, although in one of them it does occur, being an exceptional case, that the collective effort of all of humanity will avert catastrophe.
