2004 novel by louis de bernieres7/6/2023 Especially at the turn of the millennium this fascination with apocalyptic predictions, whether from the Bible or from other different sources, as quatrains of Nostradamus or the prophesies of Maya civilization, seems to increase dramatically. From the times immemorial the humanity has attempted to imagine and foresee the end of Time, and especially in recent period it has been noticed that the interest in the Biblical prophesies of Armageddon has increased tremendously. This personal experience is of essential importance, as the character prepares himself to investigate the reason and the meaning of the world and his existence in the face of apocalypse. In this work, we have tried to connect the Kierkegaardian stages of man, aesthetic, ethical, and theological, to Louis de Bernières' character Rustem Bey in order to reveal the preoccupation of an individual for defining himself as an integral Self in relation to others and to God. Louis de Bernières in his novel Birds Without Wings also illustrates this myth on the general and individual levels of existence. The aim of this study is to draw attention to the myth of apocalypse, which has grown in popularity in the literature at the turn of the millennium.
