Godverdomse dagen op een godverdomse bol (2008) is a novel by Flemish writer Dimitri Verhulst. Its theme is human evolution (starting at the dawn of mammal man, moving through world history and ending with the Holocaust and the first atomic bomb).
The view of man is cynical in that man is referred to by 't, short for het (Eng: it in Dutch).
A possible English translation reads Goddamned days on a goddamned planet.

Analysis
The book is the story of human evolution, much like the epic poem The Legend of the Centuries by Victor Hugo was in the 19th century and The Cantos by Ezra Pound in the 20th century.
The novel should be seen as an epic poem rather than regular novel.
