Summary/Abstract: We notice an impact, an influence of the French History on the literature. For example, we find the theme of the death in novels due to the modern wars: the World War I and the World War II. Indeed, the narrative's creation respects the transformation of the society. We can ask the question whether the literature doesn’t want to put into the narrative's form its own death. To illustrate our argumentation, we chose testimonies of Holocaust and absurd theater plays. This corpus is representative of the depression and the pessimism of France after the war. In reality, an apocalyptic narrative, a dramatic art of the end, is the mirror of a society, and a constantly evolving literature, which was born, dies and will be reborn.
