Abstract
This master’s thesis analyses Station Eleven (2014) written by Emily St. John Mandel and Severance (2018) written by Ling Ma. With the Covid-19 crisis, an emergence of articles analysing these books can be found. However, no articles comparing these two stories can be found. This master's thesis argues that in these two post-apocalyptic novels one finds different main topics such as the trauma created by a pandemic, memory problems caused by the trauma and two ways to overcome this trauma which are art and religion. Although these novels have common topics the analysis consists in observing how these books represent these topics respectively.
