The fragment “Predhovor k Vojne [Foreword to the war]” is part of the literary estate of Janko Kráľ (1822 – 1876), best known under its first editorial title Dráma sveta [Drama of the world]. The fragment has no title in the manuscript and it was not published before 1938. However, with regards to its genre and poetics, , the text is a clear example of Slovak Romantic fragment – an emblematic genre of the Slovak Literary Romanticism. The article bases its interpretation on the culturological and philosophical take on the theory of the point (A. Kunce) and research of the fragment as a genre, especially on its position in the writings of the representative of early Romanticism, Novalis (1772 – 1801) and in German philosophical school in Jena in general. The article tackles “Foreword to the war” as an example of a text in which modern aesthetics (labelled as “the poetics of the ruins”) blends into the theological disposition of Slovak literary practice (figuratively termed as “speech from the catacombs”) which appears to be a modality of Slovak literature within the Romantic paradigm. The analysed fragment testifies to the hermetic and apocalyptic profile of the “Slovak fragment” and in this way addresses the issue of the literary genre of the apocalypse in Slovak Romantic literature.

The main goal of this paper is presentation and interpretation of contemporary apocalyptic narrations which have been collected in the Polish Catholic community. Those narratives are called apocalyptic scripts in the article. The authoress focuses on the multiple sources of apocalyptic knowledge based on various systems (e.g. religious, scientific) and ways of its interpretation in the constantly changing context. On the one hand, apocalyptic beliefs are being modified and supplemented with current information from media. On the other - such information may obtain new meaning if perceived in the light of apocalyptic prophecies. The article analyzes also the way of thinking about the time as a separate category in the chosen community in terms of both linear and cyclic conceptions of time. It also deals with speculations about the date and sings of forthcoming apocalypse. The authoress presents information about the Doomsday which characterize apocalypse in two different categories: as a miraculous event or a rational consequence of human activity (e.g. nuclear war). Finally, also beliefs concerning resurrection and Final Judgment are presented in this article.
