Mary Shelley''s landmark novel that invented the human extinction genre and initiated climate fiction, imagining a world where newly-forged communities and reverence for nature rises from the ashes of a pandemic-ravaged society, now for the first time in Penguin Classics, with a foreword by Rebecca SolnitA Penguin ClassicWritten while Mary Shelley was in a self-imposed lockdown after the loss of her husband and children, and in the wake of intersecting crises including the climate-changing Mount Tambora eruption and a raging cholera outbreak, The Last Man (1826) is the first end-of-mankind novel, an early work of climate fiction, and a prophetic depiction of environmental change. Set in the late twenty-first century, the book tells of a deadly pandemic that leaves a lone survivor, and follows his journey through a post-apocalyptic world that''s devoid of humanity and reclaimed by nature. But rather than give in to despair, Shelley uses the now-ubiquitous end-times plot to imagine a new world where freshly-formed communities and alternative ways of being stand in for self-important politicians serving corrupt institutions, and where nature reigns mightily over humanity—a timely message for our current era of climate collapse and political upheaval. Brimming with political intrigue and love triangles around characters based on Percy Shelley and scandal-dogged poet Lord Byron, the novel also broaches partisan dysfunction, imperial warfare, refugee crises, and economic collapse—and brings the legacy of her radically progressive parents, William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, to bear on present-day questions about making a better world less centered around “man.” Shelley’s second major novel after Frankenstein, The Last Man casts a half-skeptical eye on romantic ideals of utopian perfection and natural plenitude while looking ahead to a greener future in which our species develops new relationships with non-human life and the planet.

The stunning Frankenstein special edition features sprayed edges, color end pages, a built-in ribbon bookmark, and embossed foil cover. The beautiful design and attention to detail set this special edition book apart, whether you’re reading for the first time or building a library of your favorite classic literature books. Dr. Victor Frankenstein never considers the consequences of his obsession. In his zeal to understand and harness the secret of life, he neglects his family and friends, isolates himself from the world, and ignores his own health. For years, he labors to create a new race of intelligent beings. He spends his nights scrounging human and animal body parts from graveyards, slaughterhouses, and hospital dissection rooms. By day he experiments in his secret laboratory, learning from his mistakes and perfecting the creature who, he believes, will worship him as a god. But this hubris is not his only sin. When he succeeds, Frankenstein is horrified by the ugly brutishness of the patchwork being he has brought to life. Rather than exult in his accomplishment, he runs from it, retreating to the comfort of long-neglected friends and family. Frankenstein has, indeed, created a monster. Not by reanimating dead flesh, but by abandoning his creation and planting within it the seeds of rage and loneliness. Now, the monster is out for revenge. First published in 1818, Frankenstein (also known as The Modern Prometheus) by Mary Shelley stands as a monumental work in the canon of Gothic literature and is widely regarded as one of the first science fiction novels. Conceived during a story contest among friends on a stormy night, Shelley's novel tells the tale of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sentient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. The novel delves into themes of creation and responsibility, examining the consequences of man's ambition and the ethical limits of scientific exploration. Shelley's work is a profound commentary on the potential perils of playing God and the moral obligations creators have to their creations. Today, Frankenstein remains incredibly relevant, echoing in modern debates on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and bioethics. Its exploration of human identity, monstrousness, and isolation also speaks to contemporary issues of social justice and acceptance, making Frankenstein a timeless reflection on the human condition.

'The last man! I may well describe that solitary being's feelings, feeling myself as the last relic of a beloved race, my companions extinct before me.' Mary Shelley, Journal (May 1824). Best remembered as the author of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley wrote The Last Man eight years later, on returning to England from Italy after her husband's death. It is the twenty-first century, and England is a republic governed by a ruling elite, one of whom, Adrian, Earl of Windsor, has introduced a Cumbrian boy to the circle.This outsider, Lionel Verney, narrates the story, a tale of complicated, tragic love, and of the gradual extermination of the human race by plague. The Last Man also functions as an intriguing roman `a clef, for the saintly Adrian is a monument to Percy Bysshe Shelley, and his friend Lord Raymond is a portrait of Byron. The novel offers a vision of the future that expresses a reaction against Romanticism, as Shelley demonstrates the failure of the imagination and of art to redeem her doomed characters.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Considered by many to be the first science-fiction novel, the tragic tale of Victor Frankenstein and the tortured creation he rejects is a classic fable about the pursuit of knowledge, the nature of beauty and the monstrosity inherent to man.

''I am in a strange state of mind.

Her father''s suicide by drowning, and her relationship with a gifted young poet, both contribute to her emotional withdrawal and lonely demise. This edition of Shelley''s second novel, transcribed and introduced by Deanna Koretsky, explores the work both as a complex portrayal of taboo desires and as an intergenerational story of reckoning with the horrors of racism and patriarchy. Mathilda is often read as biographical, but this edition also highlights the issues of justice, gender, and rights. Illuminating Shelley''s evolving views on activism and social reform, sexual fluidity, and the racial implications of her feminist politics, Koretsky uncovers Shelley''s deep skepticism about the capacity of English society to adapt to changing demographics and bring about a more just world.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

A new appendix also includes Lord Byron’s “A Fragment” and John William Polidori’s The Vampyre, works that are engaging in their own right and that also add further insights into the literary context of Frankenstein.

One of the first dystopian novels ever written, The Last Man traces the impact of an unstoppable pandemic as it slowly overtakes the world. Beginning in the year 2073, the story follows Lionel Vesey—the titular last man—and his circle of friends as the disease creeps from continent to continent and erodes the foundations of civilization. Published in 1826, after the death of Shelley’s husband, her stepsister, and her two children, The Last Man is both an eerily accurate story about humanity wrestling with disaster and a moving fable about surviving personal grief.

Poslední člověk je vedle Frankensteina patrně nejlepším dílem Mary Shelleyové. Apokalyptický román se odehrává koncem jednadvacátého století, kdy je země zasažena neznámou pandemií, jež se rychle rozšíří po celém světě a téměř vyhubí lidstvo. Vedle tématu apokalypsy se román věnuje politickým otázkám, zejména pak rozpuštění monarchie a nastolení republiky v Anglii. Zároveň je text poctou dvěma básníkům, kteří byli Shelleyové velmi blízcí: P. B. Shelleymu a lordu Byronovi.

Apokalyptická vízia budúcnosti od autorky románu Frankenstein. Mary Shelleyová (1797 – 1851) si v máji 1824 napísala do denníka: „Posledný človek! Presne tak, pocity tejto osamelej ľudskej bytosti viem opísať veľmi dobre. Sama si totiž pripadám ako posledný pozostatok milovanej rasy, keďže sa moji spoločníci do jedného pominuli ešte predo mnou.“ Autorka slávneho Frankensteina sa po smrti manžela P. B. Shelleyho vrátila do Anglicka, rozhodla sa spravovať jeho literárnu pozostalosť, no popritom nezabúdala ani na vlastné spisovateľské aktivity, ktorými si nepochybne kompenzovala všetky osobné straty. Okrem manžela jej totiž umreli aj deti (spolu tri – Clara, Clara Everina a William), ostal jej len syn Percy Florence. Autorka v priebehu desiatich rokov z romantického ošiaľu, ktorý sa niesol aj v znamení (nielen) jej osobnej sexuálnej revolúcie, zdá sa, celkom vytriezvela. Už to nebola len neplnoletá intelektuálka, dcéra známych spisovateľov W. Godwina a M. Wollstonecraftovej, plachá kráska s knihou v ruke, ktorej počaruje ženatý básnik pochybnej povesti. Rozhodla sa bojovať s nepriazňou osudu a postarať sa o posledného člena novej rodiny, aký jej ešte zostal, úplne sama.Pocit opustenosti položila na papier v knihe Posledný človek (The Last Man, 1826), v ktorom vzdáva hold ľudskosti v jej neuveriteľnej krehkosti. O svojom diele sa vyjadrila slovami: „Musím povedať, že Posledného človeka mám spomedzi svojich literárnych počinov najradšej, no chyby rozhodne neprehliadam.“Román je príbehom priateľstva, je to filozofická úvaha o ľudskej náture, o zmysle života v spoločnosti, o duchovnom i intelektuálnom vyzrievaní v čase prevratných spoločenských zmien na pozadí katastrofy globálnych rozmerov. Dielo pôsobí v pandemickej ére priam prorocky. Po prvom vydaní v roku 1826 kniha zapadla prachom, vo svete ju vylovili z archívu až v roku 2008 a konečne si ju môžeme prečítať aj v prvom slovenskom preklade.

Po obrovském úspěchu své komiksové adaptace Stokerova klasického románu Dracula se francouzský kreslíř Georges Bess (1947) vrhl na další monument světové fantastické a hororové prózy: na román Mary Shelleyové Frankenstein. Příběh o odpovědnosti vědce i tvůrce, o samotě a úzkosti vymykajícího se myslícího tvora v lidském světě, romantický příběh o zlobě i lásce, který se stal jedním z úhelných kamenů SF literatury i hororu, uchopil Bess se stejnou vervou a invencí a i jej opatřil výtvarným podáním tak oslnivým, že se mu máloco vyrovná.

Frankenstein neboli Moderní Prométheus Původní dílo: ručně psaný návrh Frankensteina Mary Shelley Období: 1816 Oblast: Návrh začal v Ženevě ve Švýcarsku a skončil v Londýně v Anglii Frankenstein; nebo Moderní Prométheus je klasický gotický román, mnohými považovaný za jedno z prvních děl sci-fi. Vydala ji v roce 1818 anglická spisovatelka Mary Wollstonecraft Shelleyová a vypráví příběh mladého vědce Victora Frankensteina, který ve vědeckém experimentu, který tlačí hranice, vytvoří živého humanoidního tvora. Osudná byla v roce 1816 cesta po Německu a Švýcarsku s Shelleyho nevlastní sestrou Claire Clairmontovou, budoucím manželem Percy Bysshe Shelleym a lordem Byronem, která vedla k vytvoření Frankensteina a jeho tragického stvoření. Jak příběh pokračuje, skupina cestovala podél řeky Rýn a zastavila se poblíž hradu Frankenstein, kde se alchymista údajně zabýval záhadnými experimenty před dvěma stoletími. Velká část konverzace během jejich cest se týkala témat, jako je galvanismus (související s elektrickými proudy) a okultismus, a tyto vlivy byly na mysli Mary Shelley, když dorazili do Ženevy. Když Byron navrhl soutěž o to, kdo by mohl napsat nejlepší duchařský příběh, Shelley vycházela z těchto zkušeností, stejně jako ze svých vlastních pocitů smutku a viny nad ztrátou dítěte, aby vytvořila svůj příběh. Shelley dokončila psaní na jaře 1817 a příběh byl poprvé publikován v Londýně 1. ledna 1818. Ačkoli první vydání vyšlo anonymně, obsahovalo předmluvu napsanou jejím manželem a věnování jejímu otci. Shelleyho jméno bylo přidáno do druhého vydání, vydaného v roce 1823, a od té doby je neodmyslitelně spjato s žánrem gotického hororu. Příběh se zabývá univerzálními otázkami jako „Jaký je můj účel“ a „Proč jsem tady“ – otázky, které stále rezonují u čtenářů. V roce 2019 BBC News uvedlo Frankensteina jako jeden ze svých 100 nejvlivnějších románů a v roce 2021 byl vybrán jako jeden ze šesti klasických britských sci-fi románů, které mají být uvedeny na sérii britských poštovních známek.
