, a charismatic soldier who dies in Greece, mirrors Lord Byron .The novel critiques the Romantic political ideals these men held. Despite their brilliance and ambition, they are powerless against the biological inevitability of the plague. Shelley suggests that human structures—monarchies, republics, and empires—are ultimately irrelevant in the face of nature’s power.
Long before the term “apocalypse” became commonplace in fiction, Mary Shelley—best known for Frankenstein —crafted one of the earliest dystopian novels about the extinction of humanity. Son Insan (Turkish for “The Last Man”) follows Lionel Verney, who becomes the sole survivor of a global plague that ravages the 21st century (the 2070s–2100s, from Shelley’s 19th-century perspective). The novel is part travelogue, part political commentary, and part profound meditation on grief, solitude, and human resilience.
