Publisher: L'orma Lettere come racconti mossi e coinvolgenti in cui narrare una vita che per intensità e personaggi indimenticabili fu davvero un romanzo. Mary Shelley, l'autrice di Frankenstein, viene qui colta nel vortice dei gloriosi anni del Romanticismo: si appassiona, soffre, sperimenta con l'esistenza e dipinge la luce accecante e le ombre vertiginose del cenacolo di amici geniali che decisero che la bellezza del mondo è inseparabile dalle sue verità. € 8,00

![]() ![]() Author: Shelley Mary Publisher: Rizzoli Opera fondamentale per lo sviluppo del genere horror e di quello fantascientifico, la storia del giovane Frankenstein che riesce a dar vita a una 'creatura' assemblata con parti di cadaveri colpisce ancora oggi per l'attualità delle questioni affrontate, dalla sfida dell'uomo ai limiti posti dalla natura al desiderio di poter sfuggire alla morte. In questa edizione di pregio, il mondo perturbante del romanzo trova perfetta rappresentazione nelle visioni di Lynd Ward, tra i fondatori della graphic novel statunitense, definito dallo stesso Art Spiegelman 'uno dei più eminenti e completi artisti americani'. € 16,50

![]() ![]() Author: Shelley Mary Publisher: Cinquemarzo Mary Shelley, figlia del filosofo radicale William Godwin e della scrittrice femminista Mary Wollstonecraft, viene ricordata oggi come la precocissima autrice del celebre romanzo Frankenstein. Scrittrice coltissima e raffinata, oltre a Frankenstein ha lasciato diversi altri romanzi, racconti brevi, un fitto epistolario e un voluminoso diario. Nell'epistolario e nel diario, pubblicati in Inghilterra rispettivamente nel 1980 e 1987, Mary Shelley, che non amava parlare di sé si svela, apre il suo cuore e si spoglia del suo carattere timido e introverso. Non è più l'autrice di Frankenstein a parlare, ma la moglie, l'amica, la sorella. Per la prima volta in Italia, appare qui tradotta, una selezione di queste lettere e diari composti tra il 1814 e il 1851, un omaggio doveroso ad una scrittrice che visse e amò l'Italia in maniera commovente e che, proprio in Italia, merita di essere conosciuta. € 12,00

![]() ![]() Author: Shelley Mary Publisher: Garzanti A Ginevra, nella fredda e piovosa estate del 1816, Mary Shelley scrive, a soli diciannove anni e in attesa del secondo figlio, la terrificante storia di un mostro, il più famoso 'uomo artificiale' della letteratura. Il protagonista di Frankenstein non è l'automa stolido e brutale reso popolare da tante trasposizioni cinematografiche, che semina il terrore per appagare un'insaziabile sete di sangue. La creatura nata dall'audace progetto di un moderno Prometeo è un fratello gotico di Edipo: uccide per vendicarsi dell'indifferenza del suo artefice che, accecato da una folle e smisurata ambizione scientifica, lo ha prima assemblato con membra umane, poi gli ha dato la vita e infine l'ha rinnegato e maledetto per il suo aspetto ripugnante, simbolo del fallimento del proprio ingegno di inventore. Ispirato al mito antichissimo dell'uomo che si fa dio e accende la scintilla della vita, il racconto sostituisce al prodigio la chimica e il galvanismo, e intreccia al plot riflessioni sui temi al centro del dibattito speculativo dell'epoca: l'ambiguità della scienza, la paura della diversità, l'originaria bontà della natura umana, la necessità della bellezza, il mistero delle origini della vita. Introduzione di Maria Paola Saci. € 9,00

![]() ![]() Author: Shelley Mary Wollstonecraft Publisher: Alma Books Extensively annotated, with pictures and a section on Shelley's life and works Since it was first published in 1818, Mary Shelley's seminal novel has generated countless print, stage, and screen adaptations, but none has ever matched the power and philosophical resonance of the original. Composed as part of a challenge with Byron and Shelley to conjure up the most terrifying ghost story, Frankenstein narrates the chilling tale of a being created by a bright young scientist and the catastrophic consequences that ensue. Considered by many to be the first science-fiction novel, the tragic tale of Victor Frankenstein and the tortured creation he rejects is a classic fable about the pursuit of knowledge, the nature of beauty, and the monstrosity inherent to man. € 7,65
