The Last Man is an early post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by Mary Shelley, which was first published in 1826. The book tells of a future world that has been ravaged by a plague. The plague gradually kills off all people. Lionel Verney, central character, son of a nobleman who gambled himself into poverty, finds himself immune after being attacked by an infected “negro,” and copes with a civilization that is gradually dying out around him.
Customer Reviews
Hard to listen to
I'd wondered why this novel was not as well-known as Frankenstein. Now I know. This version has another strike against it in that each chapter is read by a different reader. I give props to all these people for volunteering their services, but the experience is a listener can be a bit trying sometimes.
