About this ebook

QUESTO LIBRO È A LAYOUT FISSO

Pubblicato nel 1918, Frankenstein ha gettato le basi della moderna fantascienza.
Il giovane Viktor Frankenstein si reca all’Università di Ingostadt coltivando l’utopia della creazione di un essere umano più intelligente e longevo.
Dopo notti insonni, ripetute ricerche negli ossari e frenetici esperimenti, origina un essere più grande del normale con sembianze deformi, da cui rifugge non appena questi prende vita.

Il dramma di uno scienziato che oltrepassa il limite umanamente consentito e l’indicibile solitudine della creatura da lui generata che sfoga nella violenza la sofferenza per la propria diversità.

Mary Shelley (Londra 1797 – 1851), scrittrice inglese, è nota soprattutto come autrice del romanzo gotico Frankenstein

Author

Mary Shelley

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was born on August 30, 1797, into a life of personal tragedy. In 1816, she married the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and that summer traveled with him and a host of other Romantic intellectuals to Geneva. Her greatest achievement was piecing together one of the most terrifying and renowned stories of all time: Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. Shelley conceived Frankenstein in, according to her, “a waking dream.” This vision was simply of a student kneeling before a corpse brought to life. Yet this tale of a mad creator and his abomination has inspired a multitude of storytellers and artists. She died on February 1, 1851.
