Frankenstein. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley423 руб
But his botched creature, rejected by Frankenstein and denied human companionship, sets out to destroy his maker and all that he holds dear. ‘Now that I had finished, the beauty of my dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart …’ Obsessed by creating life itself, Victor Frankenstein plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, which he shocks into life by electricity. Frankenstein would become the world’s most famous work of horror fiction, and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity. Mary Shelley’s chilling gothic tale was conceived when she was only eighteen, living with her lover Percy Shelley near Byron’s villa on Lake Geneva. It also includes as appendices a select collation of the texts of 1818 and 1831 together with ‘A Fragment’ by Lord Byron and Dr John Polidori’s ‘The Vampyre: A Tale’. Based on the third edition of 1831, this contains all the revisions Mary Shelley made to her story, as well as her 1831 introduction and Percy Bysshe Shelley’s preface to the first edition.
