Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - An evocative post-apocalyptic vision of loss, love and redemption .Last man on earthI'm beginning to fantasize that. The last human survivor! Seems very unlikely, in a world inhabited by so many millions of people in so many cities, so many countries. But in this silencewho knows Actually, I think it's the silence, and my deepening sense of isolation, that are encouraging me to think I may be alone, completely alone. But how will I find out for sure, now that radio and TV and newspapers and the Internet and of course social media have all gone So, don't even think about it!

When, in Librarian by Peter Abbot, this happens to Peter, a university librarian in a mid-size town in Canada, he is challenged to discover and develop his own ability to survive, to search for signs of human life, and to preserve the cultural heritage for whomever else might have survived this mysterious armageddon. Librarian is a story of both inner and outer resources as the physical struggle to survive becomes a search for human warmth and meaning.' -- John Passfield, author of Pompeii.…
