Mary Shelley
Acerca de esta escucha
In our own time, when the dark threat of a dystopian world is not an alien or avoidable concept, The Last Man (1826) is revealed as a trailblazing novel. With a truly global view, Mary Shelley’s futuristic romain à clef–containing portraits of her husband Percy (Adrian), Lord Byron (Raymond) and several others–spearheaded the apocalyptic genre for an intimidated 19th-century readership that rejected her ‘diseased imagination’ and ‘polluted taste’. In the wake of COVID-19, the ravaging of a plague pandemic and its connection with politics has fascinating resonance. Told by Lionel, a wild child from Cumberland, the story begins in 2073 and sets out a horrifying future while creating an idealised past. From the political machinations of Westminster in London to the secluded Apennines in Rome, it covers an ongoing war between Greece and Turkey, the futility of the imagination, the dashing of hopes and expectations, and ultimately the survival of the human race. This superb recording by Justin Avoth ensures The Last Man’s place as Shelley’s most important work after Frankenstein.

Historia
In a creative twist, a fatally ill man’s great humanitarian act is to seek out and kill someone deserving of death; but the horror of an innocent man being accused of the murder was not an outcome Mr Todhunter, or the friends who advised him, considered. His job is then to prove his own guilt. Dedicated to P.G. Wodehouse, the story is suspenseful, inventive and humorous, with a riveting attention to detail and a profound suggestion of the absurdity of trying to influence destiny.

Ethan, the descendant of six generations who lived and died aboard ship, treads on soil and feels the wind and rain for the first time.

Tom, Carrie, Em, Michael–with their cats, fish, dog and hibernating turtle–are sent to live with their aunt and uncle when their mother is in hospital and their father is sailing round the world. However, Aunt Valentina can’t cope with their ‘private zoo’ and the children think she’s stupid. Doors bang, people yell, the cats fight, the piano is hammered in frustration. So Uncle Rudolph lets them live at ‘World’s End’ instead, a run-down inn that he acquired. To them, the broken windows, weeds and rickety benches that greet them represent a new rural life of excitement and freedom.

Planet Earth's greatest artist, Marcus Korol, crashes on the surface of Grimworld, a planet with a base-building system, which Marcus has to master in order to survive and prosper. Even if he can cope with the monsters there are slavers and cannibals nearby. Staying alive, let alone prospering, is a daunting challenge that even a battle-hardened general would find difficult.
