A stunning new clothbound edition of Mary Shelley's infamous work
of horror fiction, designed by the award-winning Coralie
Bickford-Smith. These delectable and collectible Penguin editions
are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil
stamped into the design Obsessed by creating life itself, Victor
Frankenstein plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new
being, which he shocks into life by electricity. But his botched
creature, rejected by Frankenstein and denied human companionship,
sets out to destroy his maker and all that he holds dear. This
chilling gothic tale, begun when Mary Shelley was just nineteen
years old, would become the world's most famous work of horror
fiction, and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of
human creativity. This edition also includes 'A Fragment' by Lord
Byron and 'The Vampyre: A Tale' by John Polidori, as well as an
introduction and notes Mary Shelley (1797-1851), the daughter of
pioneering thinkers Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, eloped
with the poet Percy Shelley at the age of sixteen. Three years
later, during a wet summer on Lake Geneva, Shelley famously wrote
her masterpiece, Frankenstein. The years of her marriage were
blighted by the deaths of three of her four children, and further
tragedy followed in 1822, when Percy Shelley drowned in Italy.
Following his death, Mary Shelley returned to England and continued
to travel and write until her own death at the age of fifty-three.
Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo
do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá
svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca
nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti.
Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách,
mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí
štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý
je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát:
Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
