Summary "The Chapter Ends" by Poul Anderson is a novelet written during the early 1950s. This science fiction work explores themes of civilization, identity, and a poignant farewell to Earth, the cradle of humanity. Set in a distant future where the remnants of humanity on Earth face evacuation due to the encroachment of an alien civilization, the story reflects on man's connection to his home planet and the profound implications of leaving it behind. The narrative follows Jorun, a psychotechnician tasked with overseeing the evacuation of Earth's inhabitants, who have descended into a primitive state over millennia. As Jorun interacts with Kormt, the last of the Terrans who refuses to leave, and young Julith, a representative of the soon-to-be displaced generation, the emotional weight of the impending loss becomes evident. Throughout their discussions, Jorun grapples with nostalgia for Earth while recognizing the inevitability of progress and change. Kormt’s steadfast nature symbolizes a deep-rooted connection to tradition and the past, ultimately leading to a heart-rending conclusion where he chooses to remain alone on Earth as the last vestige of humanity, embodying the bittersweet essence of memory and belonging.
