I Am Legend
Book • 1954
Set in a post-apocalyptic world, 'I Am Legend' follows Robert Neville, a war veteran who is mysteriously immune to a pandemic that has turned the rest of humanity into 'vampires'.
The novel explores Neville's daily struggles to survive, his scientific investigations into the cause of the disease, and his emotional battles with loneliness and grief.
The story is a powerful allegory of nuclear terror and the end of the American Dream, reflecting the anxieties of the 1950s.
The novel's ending is particularly poignant, as Neville realizes he has become a legend to the new society of infected humans.
