A post-apocalyptic science-fiction novel that is all the more troubling because it was written so long ago - 1889 - but deals with climate change and difficult relationships with Iran. The tale centers around a group of travelers from 2959 who have discovered what are the ruins of a civilization. Disturbing reading but fascinating.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The Last American, by J. A. Mitchell, appears to have been suggested by Macaulay's New Zealander. The last American is discovered in the ruined capitol of Washington by certain Persians known as Khan-li, Prince of Dimph-yoo-chur; Lev-el-Hedyd, No-f�hl, and so forth. The humour of the production is perhaps measurable by this facetious nomenclature.
