Frankenstein / Mary Shelley. - [miejsce nieznane] : Classics HQ : Legimi, 2022.
Forma i typ
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, generally known as Frankenstein, is a novel written by the British author Mary Shelley. The title of the novel refers to a scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. In popular culture, people have tended to refer to the Creature as "Frankenstein", despite this being the name of the scientist. Frankenstein is a novel infused with some elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. It was also a warning against the "over-reaching" of modern man and the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in the novel's subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films. It is arguably considered the first fully realized science fiction novel.

Frankenstein / Mary Shelley. - [miejsce nieznane] : knowledge house : Legimi, 2022.
Forma i typ
Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein when she was only eighteen. At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed science student Victor Frankenstein. Obsessed with discovering the cause of generation and life and bestowing animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature's hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein. Frankenstein, an instant bestseller and an important ancestor of both the horror and science fiction genres, not only tells a terrifying story, but also raises profound, disturbing questions about the very nature of life and the place of humankind within the cosmos: What does it mean to be human? What responsibilities do we have to each other? How far can we go in tampering with Nature? In our age, filled with news of organ donation genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, these questions are more relevant than ever. A masterpiece. —Phillip Pullman One of the most original and complete productions of the day. —Percy Bysshe Shelley The greatest paradox and most astonishing achievement of Mary Shelley's novel is that the monster is more human than his creator. This nameless being, as much a modern Adam as his creator is a modern Prometheus, is more lovable than his creator and more hateful, more to be pitied and more to be feared, and above all able to give the attentive reader that shock of added consciousness in which aesthetic recognition compels a heightened realization of self. —Harold Bloom

Frankenstein is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a grotesque but sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. At the same time, it is an early example of science fiction. Brian Aldiss has argued that it should be considered the first true science fiction story because, in contrast to previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction, the central character "makes a deliberate decision" and "turns to modern experiments in the laboratory" to achieve fantastic results. It has had a considerable influence in literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories, films and plays. Since the novel's publication, the name "Frankenstein" has often been used to refer to the monster itself, as it is in the stage adaptation by Peggy Webling. This usage is sometimes considered erroneous, but usage commentators regard it as well-established and acceptable. In the novel, the monster is identified by words such as "creature", "monster", "demon", "wretch," "abortion," and "it". Speaking to Victor Frankenstein, the wretch refers to himself as "the Adam of your labours", and elsewhere as someone who "would have" been "your Adam", but is instead "your fallen angel" (which ties to Lucifer in Paradise Lost, which the monster reads, and relates to the "modern" Prometheus of the book's subtitle). Frankenstein is written in the form of a frame story that starts with Captain Robert Walton writing letters to his sister. It takes place at an unspecified time in the 18th century, as the letters' dates are given as "17".

Forma i typ
Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' is a groundbreaking work of Gothic fiction that examines themes of ambition, scientific ethics, and the consequences of playing god. Written in an epistolary style, the novel weaves together multiple narratives to create a complex and thought-provoking story that challenges societal norms and expectations. Set in the Romantic period, 'Frankenstein' reflects the anxieties surrounding technological advancements and the potential dangers of unchecked scientific experimentation. Shelley's vivid descriptions and intricate character development make the novel a timeless classic in the literary canon. Mary Shelley, inspired by a haunted summer in Switzerland, penned 'Frankenstein' at the young age of 18. As the daughter of famed writers Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, Shelley was no stranger to intellectual pursuits and philosophical debates. Her personal experiences with loss and tragedy heavily influenced the themes present in 'Frankenstein', adding depth and emotion to the narrative. I highly recommend 'Frankenstein' to readers interested in exploring deep moral dilemmas, the limits of human ambition, and the consequences of overreaching scientific endeavors. Mary Shelley's masterpiece continues to captivate audiences with its complex characters and timeless themes.

„Z okrzykiem grozy zerwałem się ze snu. Zimny pot pokrył mi czoło, zęby zaczęły mi szczękać i drżałem kurczowo na całym ciele. A równocześnie przy mdłym i żółtawym świetle księżyca, wdzierającym się poprzez okiennice, zobaczyłem tę ohydę – nieszczęsnego potwora, którego stworzyłem. Uniósłszy firanki łóżka, utkwił we mnie swoje oczy, jeśli oczami można by je nazwać. Szczęki jego otwierały się i wymamrotał kilka nieartykułowanych dźwięków, podczas gdy grymas uśmiechu zmarszczył mu policzki...” Jedna z najbardziej znanych powieści grozy. Książka, która stanowiła pierwowzór dla niezliczonej ilości adaptacji filmowych, które jednak dość często znacznie odbiegały od oryginalnej postaci stworzonej przez Mary Shelley. Oto prawdziwa opowieść o Wiktorze Frankensteinie i jego dziele. Historia ambicji, odpowiedzialności za własne czyny, odtrącenia i samotności, krzywdy i zemsty...

Frankenstein o El moderno Prometeo es la creación de una joven Mary Shelley en 1815. El relato, iniciado en una temporada de encierro y tertulias, se convirtió en una de las novelas imprescindibles del romanticismo gótico. Mary Shelley, a quien solo en una segunda edición se le permitiría asumir la autoría, es la madame del terror moderno. En esta se destaca de manera grandiosa la febril imaginación de una joven novelista atrapada una temporada en una gran mansión, en compañía, además, de algunos de los personajes más interesantes y elocuentes de la época, como Lord Byron, quienes inspiraron uno de los más importantes relatos de la literatura. Lo más impresionante de la hazaña de Shelley, no fue solo concebir este monstruo, o extraordinario fue dotarlo de espíritu humano.

Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is an 1818 novel written by English author Mary Shelley. Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition was published anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20. Her name first appeared in the second edition, which was published in Paris in 1821. Shelley travelled through Europe in 1815 along the river Rhine in Germany, stopping in Gernsheim, 17 kilometres (11 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle, where two centuries before, an alchemist engaged in experiments. She then journeyed to the region of Geneva, Switzerland, where much of the story takes place. Galvanism and occult ideas were topics of conversation among her companions, particularly her lover and future husband Percy B. Shelley. In 1816, Mary, Percy and Lord Byron had a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley was inspired to write Frankenstein after imagining a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made. Though Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement, Brian Aldiss has argued that it should be considered the first true science fiction story. In contrast to previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction, Aldiss states that the central character "makes a deliberate decision" and "turns to modern experiments in the laboratory" to achieve fantastic results.

Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is the original 1818 'Uncensored' Edition of Frankenstein as first published anonymously in 1818. This original version is much more true to the spirit of the author's original intentions than the heavily revised 1831 edition, edited by Shelley, in part, because of pressure to make the story more conservative. Many scholars prefer the 1818 text to the more common 1831 edition. Frankenstein is a novel written by Mary Shelley about a creature produced by an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was nineteen, and the novel was published when she was twenty-one. Shelley had travelled in the region of Geneva, where much of the story takes place, and the topics of galvanism and other similar occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions, particularly her future husband, Percy Shelley. The storyline emerged from a dream. Mary, Percy, Lord Byron, and John Polidori decided to have a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for weeks about what her possible storyline could be, Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made. She then wrote Frankenstein.

Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' is a groundbreaking work of gothic fiction that delves into themes of creation, ambition, and the consequences of playing God. Written in the early 19th century, the novel is known for its intricate narrative structure, combining elements of horror, science fiction, and philosophical inquiry. The original 1818 edition offers readers a raw and unaltered look at the story of Victor Frankenstein and his ill-fated experiment to create life, showcasing Shelley's skill in crafting a gripping and thought-provoking tale. The prose is rich in detail and evocative language, inviting readers into a world of moral dilemmas and existential questions. Mary Shelley, as the daughter of famed writers Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, was exposed to intellectual and literary circles from a young age. The tragic events in her personal life, including the loss of her children, may have influenced her exploration of grief and loss in 'Frankenstein.' Shelley's background in Romantic literature and her own experiences with loss contribute to the depth and complexity of the novel. I highly recommend 'Frankenstein' to readers interested in exploring the darker aspects of human nature, the ethical implications of scientific advancement, and the enduring appeal of gothic fiction. Mary Shelley's timeless work continues to provoke discussion and reflection on the human condition, making it a must-read for fans of classic literature.
