Opplysninger | Originaltittel: Aller Tage Abend. - How could it all have gone differently? -the narrator asks in the intermezzos. The first chapter begins with the death of a baby in the early twentieth-century Hapsburg Empire. In the next chapter, the same girl grows up in Vienna after World War I, but a pact she makes with a young man leads to a second death. In the next scenario, she survives adolescence and moves to Russia with her husband. Both are dedicated Communists, yet our heroine ends up in a labor camp. But her fate does not end there. A novel of incredible breadth and amazing concision, The End of Days offers a unique overview of the twentieth century.
