The Last Man by Mary Shelley, a Dover Publications unabridged republication of the 1826 classic. This apocalyptic tale, written by the author of Frankenstein, explores a world devastated by plague in the late twenty-first century. As a precursor to modern science fiction and a notable Gothic extravaganza, the narrative follows a small circle of idealistic reformers amidst global pestilence and social collapse. This paperback edition includes the author's introduction and is a significant work of Romantic literature and early post-apocalyptic fiction.
