The Last Man
Shelley, Mary
Synopsis "The Last Man"
The Last Man is an apocalyptic, dystopian science fiction novel by Mary Shelley, first published in 1826. The narrative concerns Europe in the late 21st century, ravaged by a mysterious pandemic illness that rapidly sweeps across the entire globe, ultimately resulting in the near extinction of humanity. Once part of the most significant social circle of second-generation Romantic poet-intellectuals, Shelley now found herself almost alone in the world. As it kills off character after character, The Last Man recreates this history of loss along with its author's crushing sense of loneliness.
Mary Shelley (1797-1851) fue una escritora, dramaturga, ensayista y biógrafa británica. Es una de las escritoras más importantes e influyentes de las letras británicas del siglo XIX. Su poderosa imaginación y su inagotable sed de concimiento le llevaron a concebir Frankenstein, una de las novelas más leídas y estudiadas desde su publicación. Además escribió otras novelas, como El último hombre o Perkin Warbeck, y un buen número de relatos.
