Summary

Mary Shelley: Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus

*The book has a dedication from the previous owners.

Sometimes books give birth to myths that sometimes overshadow books.

One of such myths is connected to the legendary surname Frankenstein - the surname of Victor Frankenstein, the brilliant scientist "who wanted to play God", the creator of an unnamed creature that is usually grouped with famous monsters such as Dracula, King Kong, Godzilla, Aliena...

It all started one stormy summer night in 1816, when Lord Byron suggested to the gathered company that they reflect on writing stories of terror and horror. In addition to Byron's companion Claire Clairmont and personal physician John Polidori, also a writer, there was another distinguished poet: Percy Bysshe Shelley with his future wife Mary. Despite the excellent competition, the best was the short story Frankenstein, the work of nineteen-year-old Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, completely unknown in literary circles until then! This is how this epoch-making Gothic novel, a classic of terror and horror, one of the first science fiction novels, the originator of "modern horror", was published in 1818.

"It is a story about an artificially created human being, who was fashioned from the parts of corpses by Victor Frankenstein, a young medical student from Switzerland... The monster, created by his creator in the insane arrogance of his mind, is characterized by normal intelligence, but his exterior is horrible and disgusting. As an object of human revulsion and rejection, the monster will eventually begin to kill all those that young Frankenstein loves, his friends and family members... Frankenstein then pursues the monster all the way to the icy deserts of the Arctic. In the end, he dies at the hands of the object of his quest and the terrible product of his insolent arrogance..." (H. P. Lovecraft)
