Description:

The Last Man, Volume I as you haven't seen it before -- in a remarkable illustrated edition. In a world unraveling at the seams, where empires crumble and nature turns its back on mankind, The Last Man tells the haunting tale of Lionel Verney—a wild outcast turned reluctant survivor—as he watches civilization dissolve before his eyes. Born into poverty and hardened by loss, Lionel’s fate takes an unexpected turn when he befriends Adrian, the noble and kind-hearted son of England’s deposed king. Through Adrian’s guidance, Lionel rises above his lawless past and steps into the turbulent world of politics, passion, and revolution. But the forces of love and ambition are no match for the true enemy lurking in the shadows. As the years pass, whispers of an unseen terror begin to spread—a mysterious plague creeping across continents, leaving death in its wake. Friends, lovers, and nations fall, until Lionel finds himself standing alone in the vast silence of a forsaken world. Mary Shelley, the visionary mind behind Frankenstein, weaves a prophetic and deeply emotional tale of human resilience, devastating loss, and the fragile line between hope and despair. The Last Man is more than a dystopian epic—it is a warning, a lament, and a story that lingers in the soul long after the final page is turned. Will Lionel endure the weight of survival, or will the last echoes of mankind fade into the abyss? Duration - 7h 46m. Author - Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. Narrator - Jude Somers.
