Produktbeschreibung

In "The Collected Works of Mary Shelley (Illustrated Edition)," readers are invited into the rich tapestry of Shelley's literary genius, showcasing her most significant works alongside striking illustrations that enhance the reader's experience. This edition encompasses her groundbreaking novel "Frankenstein," often hailed as the first true science fiction narrative, exploring profound themes of creation, humanity, and ethical responsibility. The compilation also includes her rich array of short stories, essays, and poetry, reflecting her innovative narrative style and keen philosophical insight, set against the backdrop of early 19th-century romanticism and the turbulent socio-political landscape of her time. Mary Shelley, the daughter of feminist philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft and political thinker William Godwin, was profoundly influenced by her intellectual heritage and the circles in which she moved, including friendships with notable figures such as Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Her experiences with loss, such as the deaths of her children and her husband, deeply informed her exploration of existential themes in her writings, bridging the personal and the universal with poignant depth. This illustrated collection is essential for both newcomers and longtime followers of Shelley'Äôs work, as it provides a coherent glimpse into the mind of a visionary author. It is an invitation to engage with her profound ideas and artistic expression that continue to resonate, making it a must-read for those interested in literature, philosophy, and the human condition.
