![]() ![]() Author: Shelley Mary Publisher: Mondadori Nell'estate del 1816 un gruppo di poeti e letterati, guidati dal già celebre Lord Byron, si trovò isolato per il maltempo in una villa sul lago di Ginevra. Spinto dalla noia e suggestionato dalla lettura di una storia di fantasmi, Byron propose a tutti i suoi amici di comporre ciascuno un racconto che fosse il più terrificante possibile. Nacque così 'Frankenstein, o il moderno Prometeo', scritto dalla diciannovenne Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, che poco più tardi avrebbe sposato Percy Bysshe Shelley. Colpita dall'ipotesi, ventilata dalla scienza di quegli anni, che grazie al galvanismo si potesse ridare la vita ai cadaveri, la giovane creò la storia dello scienziato Victor Frankenstein, che riesce ad animare una mostruosa creatura ma paga il risultato scientifico con la perdita di tutti gli affetti. Una storia angosciante, una favola potente e terribile che fin dal suo primo apparire, nel 1818, si è imposta nella cultura occidentale con la sua forza di mito antico e contemporaneo. Con uno scritto di Muriel Spark. € 11,00
Scontato: € 10,45

![]() ![]() Author: Shelley Mary; Hodgkiss B. (cur.) Publisher: Black Cat-Cideb Nella mostruosa creatura a cui uno scienziato dona la vita si riflette come in un gioco di specchi un fitto intreccio simbolico: l'ambiguità dell'atto della creazione, la ribellione della creatura verso chi l'ha generata, il diverso che ci somiglia, l'orrore dell''altro' che prende vita dall'inanimato. Franke- stein è tutto questo e altro ancora, ma soprattutto annuncia un genere lette- rario che deve ancora nascere. La modernizzazione del tema faustiano è l'anima di questo romanzo che ritrae compiutamente la duplice natura dell'individuo e il suo conflitto con una società che ormai vive dentro la scienza. € 11,60

![]() ![]() Author: Wollstonecraft Mary, Shelley Mary Wollstonecraft Publisher: Penguin Classics This book brings together three extraordinary novels by an extraordinary pair, Mary Wollstonecraft, radical feminist and author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, and Mary Shelley, her daughter, author of Frankenstein. In Mary (1788), Mary Wollstonecraft explores the position of an alienated intellectual woman and, in portraying her struggle against the constraints of a claustrophobic feminine world, began a line that would include the more substantial heroines of Jane Eyre and Villette. In the posthumously published Maria (1798) she continues in fiction the arguments of the Vindication. Mary Shelley wrote Matilda in 1819, while in mourning for her first son. William Godwin, Mary's father, found its subject of father-daughter incest so 'disgusting and detestable' that he refused to publish it and the work remained suppressed for over a century. In her illuminating introduction to this edition Janet Todd explores how these novels are linked, not only through the mother-daughter relationship of their authors, but in their perceptions of feminism and female sexuality and in their autobiographical richness. € 14,80

![]() ![]() Author: Shelley Mary Wollstonecraft Publisher: Everymans Library (Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed) No-one in the grip of Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN, with its mythic-minded hero and its highly sympathetic monster who reads Goethe and longs to be at peace with himself, can fail to notice how much more excellent the original is than all the adaptations, imitations and outright plagiarisms which have followed in its ample wake. In her first novel, written at the instigation of Lord Byron and published in 1818, Mary Shelley produced English Romanticism's finest prose fiction. € 20,30

![]() ![]() Author: Mary Wollstone Shelley Publisher: BERTRAMS PRINT ON DEMAND Renewed interest in the life and works of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley has in recent years generated new biographical studies, complete editions of her letters and short stories, and fresh critical assessments of Frankenstein and her other fiction. Until now, however, there has been no anthology of Shelley's work. The Mary Shelley Reader is a unique new collection that fills this gap. In addition to the original and complete 1818 version of her masterpiece Frankenstein, the book offers a new text of the novella Mathilda--an extraordinary tale of incest, guilt, and atonement that was not published until 1959 and has been out of print since then. Also included are seven short stories that range from gentle satire to fantastic tales of reanimation, diabolical transformation, and immortality. Eight essays and reviews are reprinted here for the first time since their original publication, and eleven representative letters help bring to life a remarkable literary and historical figure--author, daughter of William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, and wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley. An illuminating introduction, a chronology, explanatory notes, and a bibliography make The Mary Shelley Reader indispensable for readers of English Romantic literature. € 88,20
