By Mary Shelley

Published in 1826, “The Last Man” is a futuristic Sci-Fi apocalypse tale that features a future world devastated by a plague. The novel is known for its quasi-biographical inclusion of Shelley’s inner circle of friends: Lord Byron and her deceased husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley. The book drives home the failure of imagination and art to save characters in the novel predestined for destruction. Includes volumes one through three.
