Torrent description

I Am Legend is a 1954 science fiction novel by Richard Matheson about the last man alive in Los Angeles, California.

The book takes place in the then-future of the years 1976-1979, the novel opens with the monotony and horror of the daily life of the
protagonist, Robert Neville. Neville is apparently the only survivor of an apocalypse caused by a pandemic of a bacterium, the symptoms of
which are very similar to vampirism. Every day he makes repairs to his house, boarding up windows, stringing and hanging garlic, disposing of
vampires' corpses on his lawn and going out to gather any additional supplies needed for hunting and killing other vampires.

Neville's psychological disposition is a significant element in the novel, and his struggles with despair imbue the character with intensity
and gravitas. The author emphasizes that he is an ordinary, flawed man trying to deal with an extraordinary catastrophe. It also explores the
loneliness of being by himself, hope of finding others, excitement and disappointment over still finding himself alone.

Much of the story is devoted to Neville's struggles to understand the plague that has transformed everyone he meets except for himself,
and the novel details the progress of his discoveries. In this regard, the novel is almost unique in vampire
fiction in that instead of asking the reader to accept a supernatural explanation for vampire phenomena, the author strives to offer
scientific basis for such symptoms as aversion to garlic, craving of fresh blood, and resistance to bullets but vulnerability to stakes
and sunlight. The aversion to mirrors and crosses is classified as psychological.
