Reply to comment by Xyxaan in What is the quote at the beginning of a book called by usmleman

Isn't epilogue the chapter after the end of the novel that gives a glimpse of future?

Right... My bad. The front one is Prologue.

I think prologue is generally a short piece of text - like a mini chapter- written by the author, either setting the scene or sometimes giving a brief glimpse into a situation later in the novel to increase anticipation.
