A fantastic and philosophical vision of the apocalypse by one of the most striking Italian novelists of the twentieth century.From his solitary buen retiro in the mountains, the last man on earth drives to the capital Chrysopolis to see if anyone else has survived the Vanishing. But theres no one else, living or dead, in that city of holy plutocracy, with its fiftysix banks and as many churches. Hed left the metropolis to escape his fellow humans and their struggles and ambitions, but to find that the entire human race has evaporated in an instant is more than he had bargained for. Meanwhile, life itselfthe rest of natureis just beginning to flourish now that human beings are gone.Guido Morsellis arresting postapocalyptic novel, written just before he died by suicide in 1973, depicts a man much like the author himselflonely, brilliant, difficultand a world much like our own, mesmerized by money, speed, and machines. Dissipatio H.G. is a precocious portrait of our Anthropocene world, and a philosophical last will and testament from a great Italian outsider.
