  Abstract:  The present paper aims to analyse how the apocalyptic imagination and dystopian visions and motifs are intertwined in two recent fictions, Paul Auster’s Country of Last Things and José Saramago’s Blindness, both constructed on an pre-apocalyptic scenario and a few essential dystopian motifs.
