Mary Shelley’s astounding look at the end of the world Set at the
end of the twenty-first century, The Last Man is a moving and
fantastical account of the apocalypse. Faced with a populace clamoring
for more democratic rule, the last king of England relinquishes his
throne. Suddenly a mysterious plague sweeps the globe, drawing ever
nearer to England. As war, disease, and death ravage humanity, ideals
of fairness and love are quickly supplanted by the imperative of
survival. With semibiographical characters drawn from Shelley’s
own inner circle of friends and colleagues, this book is at once a
look at the end of mankind and a critique of Romanticism. The Last
Man’s themes of destruction resonate as much now as they did nearly
two hundred years ago. This ebook has been professionally proofread
to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
