The stunning Frankenstein special edition features sprayed edges, color end pages, a built-in ribbon bookmark, and embossed foil cover. The beautiful design and attention to detail set this special edition book apart, whether you’re reading for the first time or building a library of your favorite classic literature books. 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 reanimating dead flesh, but by abandoning his creation and planting within it the seeds of rage and loneliness. Now, the monster is out for revenge. First published in 1818, Frankenstein (also known as The Modern Prometheus) by Mary Shelley stands as a monumental work in the canon of Gothic literature and is widely regarded as one of the first science fiction novels. Conceived during a story contest among friends on a stormy night, Shelley #39;s novel tells the tale of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sentient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. The novel delves into themes of creation and responsibility, examining the consequences of man #39;s ambition and the ethical limits of scientific exploration. Shelley #39;s work is a profound commentary on the potential perils of playing God and the moral obligations creators have to their creations. Today, Frankenstein remains incredibly relevant, echoing in modern debates on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and bioethics. Its exploration of human identity, monstrousness, and isolation also speaks to contemporary issues of social justice and acceptance, making Frankenstein a timeless reflection on the human condition.

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.

A twisted, upside-down creation myth that gave birth to the modern science fiction novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley s chilling Gothic tale, lays bare the dark side of science, and the horror within us all. Written after a nightmare Mary Shelley was only eighteen, this book gave birth to the modern science fiction novel. Set against the backdrop of Europe in the late 18th century, Frankenstein explores themes of scientific ethics, the nature of monstrosity, and the consequences of playing god.The book follows the ambitious scientist Victor Frankenstein who plunders graveyards to create a human-like creature from reanimated body parts, driven by his desire to overcome death and unlock the secrets of life. 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.

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.

Frankenstein neboli Moderní Prométheus Původní dílo: ručně psaný návrh Frankensteina Mary Shelley Období: 1816 Oblast: Návrh začal v Ženevě ve Švýcarsku a skončil v Londýně v Anglii Frankenstein; nebo Moderní Prométheus je klasický gotický román, mnohými považovaný za jedno z prvních děl sci-fi. Vydala ji v roce 1818 anglická spisovatelka Mary Wollstonecraft Shelleyová a vypráví příběh mladého vědce Victora Frankensteina, který ve vědeckém experimentu, který tlačí hranice, vytvoří živého humanoidního tvora. Osudná byla v roce 1816 cesta po Německu a Švýcarsku s Shelleyho nevlastní sestrou Claire Clairmontovou, budoucím manželem Percy Bysshe Shelleym a lordem Byronem, která vedla k vytvoření Frankensteina a jeho tragického stvoření. Jak příběh pokračuje, skupina cestovala podél řeky Rýn a zastavila se poblíž hradu Frankenstein, kde se alchymista údajně zabýval záhadnými experimenty před dvěma stoletími. Velká část konverzace během jejich cest se týkala témat, jako je galvanismus (související s elektrickými proudy) a okultismus, a tyto vlivy byly na mysli Mary Shelley, když dorazili do Ženevy. Když Byron navrhl soutěž o to, kdo by mohl napsat nejlepší duchařský příběh, Shelley vycházela z těchto zkušeností, stejně jako ze svých vlastních pocitů smutku a viny nad ztrátou dítěte, aby vytvořila svůj příběh. Shelley dokončila psaní na jaře 1817 a příběh byl poprvé publikován v Londýně 1. ledna 1818. Ačkoli první vydání vyšlo anonymně, obsahovalo předmluvu napsanou jejím manželem a věnování jejímu otci. Shelleyho jméno bylo přidáno do druhého vydání, vydaného v roce 1823, a od té doby je neodmyslitelně spjato s žánrem gotického hororu. Příběh se zabývá univerzálními otázkami jako „Jaký je můj účel“ a „Proč jsem tady“ – otázky, které stále rezonují u čtenářů. V roce 2019 BBC News uvedlo Frankensteina jako jeden ze svých 100 nejvlivnějších románů a v roce 2021 byl vybrán jako jeden ze šesti klasických britských sci-fi románů, které mají být uvedeny na sérii britských poštovních známek. Dnes se ručně psaný návrh Frankensteina Mary Shelley koná v Bodleian Libraries na Oxfordské univerzitě.

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.

Playfully unique, delightfully steamy, utterly romantic, and overall unmissable! Ali HazelwoodFrom the author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy comes a new heart warming fantasy rom-com with an opposites-attract twist set in the delightful world of Tanria. Immortal demigod Rosie Fox has been patrolling Tanria for decades, but lately, the job has been losing its lustre. After one hundred and fifty-seven years of being alive, everything is beginning to lose its lustre. When Rosie dies (again) by electrocution (again) after poking around inside a portal choked with shadowy thorns only she can see, she feels stuck in the rut that is her unending life. Thanks to Rosie s meddling, the portal inventor, Dr. Adam Lee, must come in person to repair the damage. When all the portals begin to break down, he declares an emergency evacuation of Tanria. In the mad rush to get out, Rosie and Adam end up trapped inside the Mist. Together.
