On the Beach

Nevil Shute Norway (17.1. 1899 - 12.1. 1960.) bio je popularni romanopisac i uspješni avio-inženjer.

Mnoga od Shuteovih djela su pustolovni romani s dosta tehničkih detalja. No Highway (1948) dramatizira događaje pred predviđenu strukturnu pogrešku u avio-dizajnu. Neki od njegovih romana imaju natpriorodne elemente, prije svegaRound the Bend (1951), koji opisuje novu religiju čiji je osnivač avio-mehaničar. Najpoznatije Shuteovo djelo je bilo njegovo posljednje: On the Beach (1957), smješteno u svijet koji polagano umire od posljedica atomskog rata. Popularnost je doprinijela filmska adaptacija, koju je Shute prezirao zbog previše skretanja od njegovog predloška.
