- Quality Digital Text- 88 Remastered Original Illustrations- Linked table of ContentsA wonderful, turn-of-the-century classic in the same genre as H.G. Wells and Jules Verne!Originally published in Cosmopolitan Magazine with this preview:"WHAT WOULD YOU DO if assured by scientific men that the world would come to an end within the next twelve weeks? The long promised novel of Camille Flammarion, "Omega: The Last Days of the World," proves to be of thrilling interest. It is the conception of one of the world's most distinguished astronomers, worked out within the bounds of scientific possibility. While educating the reader in the most modern phase of science, it is as full of interesting surprises as The Arabian.""The most interesting part of this wonderful novel is found in his description of the trepidation and expectation into which the people of the world are thrown. Imagine the condition of the stock exchange with a fact of such import staring them in the face. The opening chapters will be found in the April number of The Cosmopolitan magazine.""Probably no novel has ever been presented in an American magazine with such illustrations as accompany Flammarion's "Omega," which commences in the April Cosmopolitan. In the list of illustrators are to be found the names of Jean Paul Laurens, Rochegrosse, Chovin, Vogel, O. Saunier, Gerardin and Meaulle."
