Produktbeschreibung

Determined to make his mark on Science, young student Victor Frankenstein fabricates a creature out of old body parts. His dreams are crushed, however, when he realizes he has created a monster. He runs to the streets, horrified, but when he returns the monster is gone. In time, their paths will cross again, at the price of several innocent lives. Mary Shelley famously started writing 'Frankenstein' (1818) for a contest when she was on a rainy holiday with other writers in Lord Byron's villa in Switzerland. Two years later at the age of 20 she had it published. Since the novel's publication, the name "e;Frankenstein"e; has often mistakenly been used to refer to the monster itself, who is, in fact, nameless.

Autorenporträt

Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was an English author of science fiction, historical fiction and travel writing who is best known for her classic novel 'Frankenstein' (1818). Shelley conceived of the idea for the novel at the age of eighteen when she was on holiday in Switzerland with Lord Byron and John William Polidori. Following the death of her husband and two children she returned to England with her only surviving son, to dedicate herself to his upbringing and writing professionally. She wrote numerous works in this time such as the apocalyptic novel 'The Last Man' (1826) and the historical fiction tale 'Valperga' (1823).
