About Revelation (Apocalypse and Poetic Form)

Abstract

The literal meaning of the word “apocalypse”, having in his view his Greek origin, is “revelation”, the removal of a veil that obscured. It is interesting the fact of an objective idea as apocalypse win today the sense of popular subgenre of science fiction and horror narrative-stories set in places decrepit, the distant memory of cities and civilizations extinct, while the few human survivors with whom we identify fighting horrors of varied intensity undead radioactive threats. This approach identifies the obsessive idea and end of it, something that no doubt is in the essence of revelation most famous narrative, the one written by John of Patmos and that closes the New Testament.
