Jean-Baptiste-François-Xavier Cousin de Grainville’s Le Dernier Homme recounts the encounter between Adam, the first man, and Omégare, his last descendant, on an Earth that is about to disappear. Published in 1805, this epic prose work revisits, through the prism of Milton, the end of a world, that of the Ancien Régime.
