modern europe
The Land at the End of the World is a novel by Portuguese author António Lobo Antunes first published in 1979. It reflects the personal experience of Lobo Antunes as an army doctor sent to Angola during the Portuguese Colonial War. Throughout the book, the reader assumes the position of "interlocutor" to the protagonist, who finds an Angola degraded by colonial conflict, the "unbelievable absurdity of war." The novel touches on several themes: the numberless casualties of war, disregard for the lives of the innocent, the protagonist's distance from home, his loss of family ties and fear of death, but above all the nightmarish conditions of colonial occupation and civil war.— Wikipedia
