Frankenstein is often considered a reflection of the cultural and scientific anxieties of the time, with the Industrial Revolution and advancements in science raising questions about the ethical boundaries of scientific exploration. Despite first being published in 1818, this novel remains relevant today, prompting discussions on the consequences of unchecked ambition and societal rejection of the “other.” This seminal work is perfect for fans of the Gothic and science fiction genres.

By the dim and yellow light of the moon, as it forced its way through the window-shutters, I beheld the wretch-the miserable monster whom I had created. He held up the curtain of the bed; and his eyes, if eyes they may be called, were fixed on me. His jaws opened...Frankenstein is the most celebrated horror story ever written. It tells the dreadful tale of Victor Frankenstein, a visionary young student of natural philosophy, who discovers the secret of life. In the grip of his obsession he constructs a being from dead body parts, and animates this creature. The results, for Victor and for his family, are catastrophic.Written when Mary Shelley was just eighteen, Frankenstein was inspired by the ghost stories and vogue for Gothic literature that fascinated the Romantic writers of her time. She transformed these supernatural elements an epic parable that warned against the threats to humanity posed by accelerating technological progress. Published for the 200th anniversary, this edition, based on the original 1818 text, explains in detail the turbulent intellectual context in which Shelley was writing, and also investigates how her novel has since become a byword for controversial practices in science and medicine, from manipulating ecosystems to vivisection and genetic modification. As an iconic study of power, creativity, and, ultimately, what it is to be human, Frankenstein continues to shape our thinking in profound ways to this day.

Mary Shelleyová - Frankenstein. Světoznámý horor vypráví příběh mladého vědce Viktora Frankensteina, který stvoří umělého člověka, ohavné monstrum s nadlidskou silou? Stovky adaptací divadelních, filmových i rozhlasových, komiksy, a dokonce i počítačové hry. Přestože vznikl ve století páry, román Frankenstein opanoval zábavní průmysl i v jeho virtuální éře a stal se trvale inspirujícím dílem populární kultury. Trvalo mu to bezmála dvě století, během nichž vydělal miliardy, paradoxem je, že ne svojí autorce. Mary Wollstonecra Shelleyová u prvního vydání ani nezveřejnila své autorství, takže Frankenstein vyšel v roce 1818 anonymně a v nákladu pouhých pěti set výtisků. Předmluvu napsal již tehdy známý a skandály opředený básník Percy Bysshe Shelley, Maryin manžel, což podnítilo spekulace o jeho utajeném autorství. Dnes víme, že na románu měl jistý podíl, jako řekneme ?rodinný editor?, a právě on povzbudil svou novomanželku, aby původní náčrt povídky rozšířila na román. Ostatně byl i u toho, kdy se Mary nadchla myšlenkou napsat nějaký hrůzostrašný příběh.

The book that translated the dark and stormy ethos of the gothic novel into the foundation for the tale of modern science fiction, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square Co. Signature Clothbound Editions line. Dr. Victor Frankenstein never considers the consequences of his obsession. In his zeal to understand and harness the secret of life, he neglects his family and friends, isolates himself from the world, and ignores his own health. For years, he labors to create a new race of intelligent beings. He spends his nights scrounging human and animal body parts from graveyards, slaughterhouses, and hospital dissection rooms. By day he experiments in his secret laboratory, learning from his mistakes and perfecting the creature who, he believes, will worship him as a god. But this hubris is not his only sin. When he succeeds, Frankenstein is horrified by the ugly brutishness of the patchwork being he has brought to life. Rather than exult in his accomplishment, he runs from it, retreating to the comfort of long-neglected friends and family. Frankenstein has, indeed, created a monster, not by animating dead flesh but by abandoning his creation and planting within it the seeds of rage and loneliness. Now, the monster is out for revenge.

Since it was first published in 1818, Mary Shelley s seminal novel has generated countless print, stage and screen adaptations, but none has ever matched the power and philosophical resonance of the original. Composed as part of a challenge with Byron and Shelley to conjure up the most terrifying ghost story, Frankenstein narrates the chilling tale of a being created by a bright young scientist and the catastrophic consequences that ensue. Considered by many to be the first science-fiction novel, the tragic tale of Victor Frankenstein and the tortured creation he rejects is a classic fable about the pursuit of knowledge, the nature of beauty and the monstrosity inherent to man.

Po obrovském úspěchu své komiksové adaptace Stokerova klasického románu Dracula se francouzský kreslíř Georges Bess (1947) vrhl na další monument světové fantastické a hororové prózy: na román Mary Shelleyové Frankenstein. Příběh o odpovědnosti vědce i tvůrce, o samotě a úzkosti vymykajícího se myslícího tvora v lidském světě, romantický příběh o zlobě i lásce, který se stal jedním z úhelných kamenů SF literatury i hororu, uchopil Bess se stejnou vervou a invencí a i jej opatřil výtvarným podáním tak oslnivým, že se mu máloco vyrovná.

I was filled with apprehension about crossing the front line, but I would have risked my life to save just one child. Ivan was giving me a chance to save them allâ ¦ This is the extraordinary work of Sally Becker, a humanitarian aid worker who for over three decades has risked it all in order to help the children of war.Where Angels Fear to Tread is a reminder that â “ with determination, unrelenting passion and drive â “ one person can change the lives of so many.In May 1993, Sally Becker went to Bosnia to help the innocent victims of war. She started by delivering humanitarian aid to the region, and was soon hailed as the Angel of Mostar for rescuing wounded children and their families from the besieged city. Sally continued her work throughout the conflict and is credited with saving many lives.When President Milosevic ordered his troops into Kosovo, her missions continued, this time on foot across the mountains. While attempting to bring sick and wounded children and their families to safety, she was captured by Serb paramilitaries, but neither this nor being shot by masked gunmen in Northern Albania could make her abandon her task.Bosnia was Sally s first mission and the beginning of her lifelong commitment to help rescue children caught up in some of the most horrific wars around the world, including missions to help children in Iraq, Ukraine and most recently Gaza.Her account provides a rare and invaluable insight into the complexities of international aid work, the shocking reality of life on the front lines and the desperate race to save innocent children trapped in war zones.This is her extraordinary story.
