The Last Man

Beschreibung

A brilliant, early dystopian tale, 'The Last Man' is a powerful, post-apocalyptic tale and precursor to the later science fiction of H.G. Wells, George Orwell, Philip K. Dick and Harlan Ellison amongst others. Overshadowed by the titanic success of Frankenstein, Mary Shelleyâ s neglected masterpiece tells of a future laid waste by plague.

Autor

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797?1851) was born in London, to her father the writer William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, an influential social campaigner who died 11 days after the birth of her daughter. Mary's early life was unconventional and by the age of 16 she eloped with the then-married Percy Bysshe Shelley. Amongst their friends were Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Lord Byron, the latter of whom offered the challenge to Mary to write a ghost story which later became Frankenstein.
