A new, revised edition of Shelley's classic dystopia about a pandemic that wipes out the human race. Set in the late 21st century, The Last Man tells the story of wealth and poverty, the fall of aristocracy and rise of the modern state, war and peace, lovers and friends, and how a plague erased all this, made it eerily insignificant, and left one man to survive. Deeply autobiographical, questioning ethics and ideals, proud of human accomplishments, pessimistic and at the same time full of the hope of life, Shelley wrote this book 200 years ago, yet it's as relevant now as it ever was.
