Then my father moved the whole family to Scotland when he got a job here. I’m almost a living embodiment of that idea, because I was born in the south of England, and lived there until I was six.

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.

The Great Lakes surrounding Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and New York (and, yes, Canada) are no different. Then there are also those pesky invasive plant and aquatic species. There have been good years, great years and sometimes years when we couldn’t get a trout to take a worm much less a dry fly. It’s a cycle we have learned to live with. It’s been several months since we young-Hemingway wannabes in Michigan put away our rods and reels, cleaned our lines and continuously embellished the length and weights of the prey we caught – and especially the ones that got away.
