When British aviation engineer Nevil Shute Norway announced "On the Beach" in 1957, it was unlikely to be a forerunner of the apocalypse of nuclear weapons. He is not alone. For example, John Tinsham's "The Chrysalids", a surviving community of nuclear war like cults, was released in 1955, but still lacks the boldness to deal with nuclear disasters. Then there is Shute 's novel. It was serialized in 39 newspapers in the first six weeks, replaced the best-selling Peyton Place among the best-selling lists, sold 100,000 copies in the United States. Shortly thereafter, it became a film in which Ava Gardner and Fred Astaire appeared. This popularity proves the public's anxiety over the brave new world where they live.
