Published 1947.

As if repulsed from the ultimate war, time now flows backwards. Everyone starts out their life being disinterred, lives out their life growing young, then ends their life seeking out their mother. Everyone except one man, who remembers the Holocaust, then Hitler fading out of the memory of man, the American Indians forcing the colonists to retreat to the east coast, and then to sail their ships to Europe, and the men of the great pharaoh Cheops dismantle the pyramid block by block.
