Uno dei "100 romanzi che hanno plasmato il nostro mondo" della BBC The Penguin English Library Edition di Frankenstein di Mary Shelley "Non ho mai visto una visione così orribile come il suo volto, di così ripugnante, ma spaventosa bruttezza" Un mito della creazione contorto e capovolto, il racconto gotico agghiacciante di Mary Shelley mette a nudo il lato oscuro della scienza e l'orrore dentro tutti noi. Racconta la storia di Victor Frankenstein, che saccheggia i cimiteri per creare un nuovo essere dai corpi dei morti, ma la cui creatura maldestra non causa altro che omicidi e distruzione. Scritto dopo un incubo quando il suo autore aveva solo diciotto anni, Frankenstein ha dato vita al moderno romanzo di fantascienza.

Mary Shelley (1797-1851), the daughter of pioneering thinkers Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, eloped with the poet Percy Shelley at the age of sixteen. Three years later, during a wet summer on Lake Geneva, Shelley famously wrote her masterpiece, Frankenstein. The years of her marriage were blighted by the deaths of three of her four children, and further tragedy followed in 1822, when Percy Shelley drowned in Italy. Following his death, Mary Shelley returned to England and continued to travel and write until her own death at the age of fifty-three.

The Penguin English Library Edition of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
'Never did I behold a vision so horrible as his face, of such loathsome, yet appalling hideousness'
A twisted, upside-down creation myth, Mary Shelley's chilling Gothic tale lays bare the dark side of science, and the horror within us all. It tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, who plunders graveyards to create a new being from the bodies of the dead - but whose botched creature causes nothing but murder and destruction. Written after a nightmare when its author was only eighteen, Frankenstein gave birth to the modern science fiction novel.
