The Apocalypse: From Yesterday into Tomorrow

The Book of Revelation is one of the Bible’s most mysterious texts. Is it really about the end of the world, or something more? In Apocalypses. What Did You See in Hiroshima (MIR, autumn 2025), the biblical vision is contrasted with the modern image of nuclear apocalypse.

Writer, editor, and translator Frédéric Boyer presents excerpts from his new translation and commentary — first shown at the BnF in Paris — revealing the text’s deep ambiguity and striking relevance.
