Step into an infinite world of stories
Fiction
In a dystopian future plagued by a devastating pandemic, Lionel Verney, one of the few remaining survivors, navigates a world on the brink of collapse. As society crumbles around him, Lionel forms unlikely alliances and embarks on a quest for meaning and purpose in a desolate landscape. The Last Man is one of the first instances of dystopian fiction and solidifies Mary Shelley as a pioneer of science fiction and apocalyptic literature.
MARY SHELLEY [1797-1851] was the daughter of philosopher William Godwin and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. In the summer of 1816, spent by Lake Geneva in Switzerland, her nightly conversations with poet Lord Byron and her husband, poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, sparked the idea for Frankenstein.
