About this book

Se, di ritorno da un lungo viaggio, scoprissimo che ogni affetto, ogni amico, ogni uomo o donna che abbia mai camminato su questa terra fosse ridotto a una muta statua di carne?
Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1901, precursore di due tra i generi letterari più fortunati della letteratura contemporanea – il postapocalittico e la climate fiction – La nuvola purpurea è la cronaca in prima persona dell’estinzione dell’umanità. Scrivendo con la foga del più potente tra i tornado, Matthew Phipps Shiel ci porta per mano nei recessi più oscuri dell’animo umano, raccontando la discesa agli inferi della follia di Adam Jeffson, l’ultimo uomo sulla terra, costretto a vivere ogni gradazione di delirio e allucinazione.
La nuvola purpurea è il romanzo che ha ispirato cinque generazioni di scrittori, da H.G. Wells a Richard Matheson, fino a Kim Stanley Robinson, e che ancora oggi riesce a stupire per la sua capacità di immergerci in un mondo i cui confini sembrano solo linee astratte.
