Frankenstein (Annotated)

Autor Mary Shelley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 noi 2022
'Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful...' Victor Frankenstein, a student of science with much promise in his studies, becomes consumed with the prospect of creating new life. Traversing graveyards and unearthing their lifeless inhabitants of graveyards, Frankenstein's pursuit for revolutionising and completely reshaping the boundaries of his discipline is doomed for success-and, with the birth of his repulsive, seemingly menacing monster, Frankenstein dooms himself (and his scorned creation, who, in its struggles to navigate the new, daunting world in which it finds itself, initially pursues his terrified creator for nothing more than companionship and care) to a tumultuous fate of tragedy, chaos, and destruction. Penned by Mary Shelley at the tender age of nineteen, Frankenstein revolutionised the horror and sci-fi genre, yet it is also a tale that explores ambition gone wrong, what it means to be a being deserving of love and compassion, and the ethics of scientific enquiry. It is both chilling and heartfelt, and continues to enthral readers today. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dyslexia Print's Frankenstein: Dyslexic Edition makes use of the award-winning typeface created by Christian Boer.
