"Omega: The Last Days of the World" by Camille Flammarion is a speculative fiction work written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds during an apocalyptic period where humanity grapples with the existential threat posed by an incoming comet, and the book delves into both scientific and philosophical explorations of this calamity. The rising tension among the populace emphasizes their varied reactions to impending doom, with a cast of characters that likely includes scientists, politicians, and everyday citizens who are faced with the question of humanity's fate. The opening of the narrative sets an urgent tone as people gather in Paris, anxious about astronomical predictions that suggest a comet's catastrophic collision with Earth. Amid a backdrop of social unrest and historical turmoil, Flammarion captures a world brimming with fear and speculation, as citizens from all walks of life converge at an important scientific assembly to learn about the comet's approach and its potential repercussions. The initial chapters detail the scientists' debates and the heated discussions about the cosmic threat, urging the reader to consider not just the physical implications of the comet but also the psychological and societal impacts of such a momentous disaster.
