Valerius, The Reanimated Roman by Mary Shelley

A Roman nobleman is brought back to life in modern times through mysterious means, awakening to a world he no longer understands. As he struggles to adjust, his presence causes unease, and the culture clash reveals deep philosophical and emotional divides. The plot centers on his alienation and the reactions of those around him. A thoughtful story about time, identity, and the cost of resurrection. The past cannot live comfortably in the present.
