The Last Man
By:
- Synopsis
- The Last Man is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by Mary Shelley, which was first published in 1826. It is notable in part for its semi-biographical portraits of Romantic figures in Shelley's circle, particularly Shelley's late husband Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron. As plague and war lay waste to humankind at the end of the twenty-first century, only one man has survived. The story of the final days of mankind is told through the eyes of Lionel Verney, a member of the English ruling class who, along with other survivors, wanders through Europe searching for respite from the unceasing epidemic.
