Description
The Last Man by Mary Shelley In this haunting novel, Mary Shelley explores the consequences of a deadly plague that wipes out most of humanity. Written eight years after her famous novel Frankenstein, The Last Man is a powerful tale of love, loss and survival. Through the eyes of Lionel Verney, an outsider who finds himself at the centre of a tragic circle, we witness the gradual extermination of the human race. As the plague ravages England, Shelley offers a vision of the future that critiques Romanticism and the power of art to redeem humanity. This edition of The Last Man is part of Oxford World's Classics, a series that has made available a wide range of literature from around the globe for over 100 years.
