Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley about eccentric scientist Victor Frankenstein, who creates a grotesque creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was eighteen, and the novel was published when she was twenty. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France in 1823. Shelley had travelled through Europe in 1814, journeying along the river Rhine in Germany with a stop in Gernsheim which is just 17 km (10 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle, where two centuries before an alchemist was engaged in experiments. Later, she traveled in the region of Geneva (Switzerland - where much of the story takes place - and the topics of galvanism and other similar occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions, particularly her lover and future husband, Percy Shelley. Mary, Percy, Lord Byron, and John Polidori decided to have a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made; her dream later evolved into the story within the novel. Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement and is also considered to be one of the earliest examples of science fiction.This special limited edition has been released to commemorate the 1818-2018 200th Anniversary of this legendary novel. 592 pp. Englisch.

Fadengehefteter Ganzleineneinband mit (gold-) geprägtem Rückentitel, geprägtem Deckelbild, hellblauem Lesebändchen, hellblauem Heftfaden und illustriertem Schutzumschlag mit blindgeprägtem goldenem Rücken- und Deckeltitel in sehr gutem, neuwertigem Erhaltungszustand, das Buch wurde lediglich zu Prüfzwecken aus der Originalfolie genommen. Kongenial illustrierte Schmuckausgabe des Klassikers, gesetzt aus der Bodoni und gedruckt auf Werkdruckpapier Fly bzw. hellblauem Papier Popset (eisblau). "Der Genfer Student Viktor Frankenstein überschreitet im Labor Grenzen: Besessen von Forschungsdrang und Idealismus, erschafft er eine Kreatur aus toter Materie und erweckt sie zum Leben. Vom Ausmaß seiner Schöpfung überrascht und abgestoßen, flieht Viktor. Abweisung und Furcht treiben die Kreatur zu Taten, die Viktor in den Untergang reißen. Mary Shelley deutete mit Frankenstein heutige Diskussionen um Bioengineering, Ethik in den Wissenschaften oder Künstliche Intelligenz an und ist damit aktueller denn je. In kontrastreichen Schwarz-Weiß-Holzschnitten fängt Martin Stark die dramatische und düstere Atmosphäre des Romanklassikers gekonnt ein." (Verlagstext) Frankenstein oder Frankenstein oder Der moderne Prometheus (Original: Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus) ist ein Roman von Mary Shelley, der am 1. Januar 1818 erstmals anonym veröffentlicht wurde. Er erzählt die Geschichte des jungen Schweizers Viktor Frankenstein, der an der damals berühmten Universität Ingolstadt einen künstlichen Menschen erschafft. Die Handlung wird durch eine Mischung aus Briefroman und klassischer Ich-Erzählsituation vermittelt. Viktor Frankenstein erzählt dem Leiter einer Forschungsexpedition, zugleich Eigner des Schiffes, das ihn in der Arktis rettet, seine Geschichte. Der Roman wird so zu einem Lehrstück, gibt Frankenstein doch deutlich zu verstehen, dass seine Erzählung auch eine Warnung an den Zuhörer und damit auch die Leser sein soll: Er warnt vor einer entgrenzten menschlichen Vernunft, die sich selbst zu Gott macht und sich anmaßt, lebendige Materie zu schaffen. Die Figur des Viktor Frankenstein ähnelt damit sowohl dem 'literarischen' Faust als auch dem Prometheus aus der griechischen Mythologie. 2015 wählten 82 internationale Literaturkritiker und -wissenschaftler den Roman zu einem der bedeutendsten britischen Romane. Mary Shelley geborene Mary Godwin (* 30. August 1797 in London, England; gestorben 1. Februar 1851 ebenda), häufig auch als Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley bezeichnet, war eine englische Schriftstellerin des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts. Sie ist als Autorin von Frankenstein oder Der moderne Prometheus (1818), einem bekannten Werk der romantischen und fantastischen Literatur, in die Literaturgeschichte eingegangen. Zu ihrem Gesamtwerk zählen mehrere Romane, Kurzgeschichten, Theaterstücke, Essays, Gedichte, Rezensionen, Biografien und Reiseerzählungen. Sie gab außerdem das Werk ihres früh verstorbenen Ehemanns Percy Bysshe Shelley, mit dem sie seit 1816 verheiratet war, heraus. (Wikipedia) In deutscher Sprache. 387, (1) pages. 8° (158 x 220mm).
