Frankenstein
author: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley translator: Miécio Araujo Jorge Honkins publishing house: L&PM 2009 - 3 other title: The Modern Prometheus
Mary Shelley (1797-1851), mulher do poeta inglês Percy B. Shelley, escreveu "Frankenstein" para participar de um concurso de histórias de terror realizado na intimidade do castelo de Lord Byron. Mesmo competindo com grandes gênios da literatura universal, acabou redigindo esta que é uma das mais impressionantes histórias de horror de todos os tempos. A história do dr. Victor Frankenstein e da monstruosa criatura por ele concebida vem fascinando gerações desde que foi publicada há mais de cem anos. Brilhante história de horror, escrita com fervor quase alucinatório, "Frankenstein" representa um dos mais estranhos florescimentos da imaginação romântica.
Frankenstein or, The Modern Prometheus [Book] NeoDB Goodreads
author: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley publishing house: Penguin Books 1994
The Original Gothic-Horror Literary Classic Mary Shelley's deceptively simple story of Victor Frankenstein and the creature he brings to life, first published in 1818, is now more widely read-and more widely discussed by scholars-than any other work of the Romantic period. From the creature's creation to his wild lament over the dead body of his creator in the Arctic wastes, the story retains its narrative hold on the reader even as it spins off ideas in rich profusion.

"This is the definitive collectors edition and is a stunning and impressive uanabridged representation of a classic literary work."

The Last Man [Book] Goodreads
author: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley publishing house: Oxford University Press 1998 - 9
A futuristic story of tragic love and of the gradual extermination of the human race by plague, The Last Man is Mary Shelley's most important novel after Frankenstein. With intriguing portraits of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron, the novel offers a vision of the future that expresses a reaction against Romanticism, and demonstrates the failure of the imagination and of art to redeem the doomed characters.

Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus [Book] Goodreads
author: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley publishing house: Pocket Books 2004 - 5
Mary Shelley começou a escrever Frankenstein quando tinha apenas dezoito anos. Simultaneamente um thriller gótico, um romance apaixonado e um conto de advertência sobre os perigos da ciência, Frankenstein conta a história do estudante de ciências Victor Frankenstein. Obcecado em descobrir a origem da vida e conseguindo animar matéria inerte, Frankenstein monta um ser humano a partir de partes do corpo roubadas; porém, ao trazê-lo à vida, recua horrorizado ante a fealdade da criatura. Atormentada pelo isolamento e pela solidão, a criatura outrora inocente vira-se para o mal e desencadeia uma campanha de vingança assassina contra o seu criador, Frankenstein.

Frankenstein, um best-seller instantâneo e um antepassado importante do terror e da ficção científica, não só conta uma história aterrorizante, como também suscita perguntas profundas e perturbadoras sobre a própria natureza da vida e o lugar da humanidade no cosmos: o que significa ser humano? Quais são as responsabilidades que temos uns com os outros? Até onde podemos ir na manipulação da Natureza? Na nossa época, cheia de notícias sobre a engenharia genética, doação de órgãos e bioterrorismo, estas questões são mais relevantes do que nunca.
