{"product_id":"the-last-man-mary-shelley-9781312184862","title":"The Last Man","description":"The Last Man Mary Shelley, most famous for \"Frankenstein\" also wrote several other novels and short stories. \"The Last Man\" was her second best-seller, written about ten years after the publication of \"Frankenstein\". The Last Man is an apocalyptic science fiction novel about tragic love and a future world that has been ravaged by a plague. It reflects Shelley's fears about civilization and the shortcomings of human behavior. Lionel Verney, the narrator and last survivor of a twenty-first century plague, recounts how he discovers a manuscript written in 2100. But aside from the novel being delightful and arguably obscure entertainment for the Romantic literature aficionado, it is the foundation of English Sci-Fi from H.G. Wells to Arthur C. Clarke, not to mention such works as \"The Stand\" by Stephen King and \"I am Legend\" by Richard Matheson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Shelley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1312184868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781312184862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.06d","brand":"Mary Shelley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48444531474687,"sku":"9781312184862","price":49.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_75073525-7fa6-4b85-b374-02dec55060f9.jpg?v=1777212885","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-last-man-mary-shelley-9781312184862","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
