Mary Wollstonecraft ShelleySiempre a la sombra de su obra más conocida, Frankenstein, esta novela, tal vez la más ambiciosa, estuvo mucho tiempo olvidada. Algunas interpretaciones recientes han visto en la extincion universal que en ella describe una metafora de los efectos destructores de un idealismo politico excesivo. Obra de vocacion futurista, ambientada en torno al año 2070, destacan entre sus personajes Adrian, hijo del destronado rey de Inglaterra y ardiente partidario de las ideas republicanas e igualitarias, y Raymond, un señor poderoso que rechaza un ventajoso matrimonio politico para casarse con su verdadero amor y que combate en Constantinopla por la libertad de un pueblo que no es el suyo. En esas circunstancias, se tiene conocimiento de una misteriosa epidemia que avanza arrasando paises enteros y que pone en peligro la supervivencia misma de la humanidad. El ultimo hombre es un clasico imprescindible que ofrece multiples lecturas: novela de anticipacion y de profecias apocalipticas, novela en clave, novela de iniciacion y relato de terror gotico.
