En el verano de 1816, el poeta Percy Bysshe Shelley y su esposa Mary se reunieron con Lord Byron y su m?dico Polidori en una villa a orillas del lago Leman. A instancias de Lord Byron y para animar una velada tormentosa, decidieron que cada uno inventar?a una historia de fantasmas. La m?s callada y reservada, Mary Shelley, dio vida as? a quien ser?a su personaje m?s famoso: el doctor Frankenstein. Al cabo de un a?o completar?a la novela, hoy d?a un cl?sico imperecedero de la literatura. La historia es de todos conocida: un cient?fico decide crear una criatura con vida propia a la que luego rechaza. Met?fora sobre la vida, la libertad y el amor, Frankenstein es una maravillosa f?bula con todos los ingredientes de los grandes mitos.

Описание:
Mathilda is Mary Shelley's haunting story of an incestuous and fatal love. The narrative traces the teenaged Matilda's reunion with her unnamed father, and the development of their obsessive bond that culminates in suicide. Shelley's own father, William Godwin, was so disturbed after reading the manuscript that he refused to return it to her and it remained unpublished for over one hundred years. This near-forgotten and harrowing work encompasses the Romantic themes of the individual's growth, isolation, and the power of imagination. Shelley's violent and terrifying short stories share Mathilda's fixation with feminist concerns and Gothic conventions. The murderous plots and sinister settings of these later stories reveal Shelley's ongoing preoccupation with the supernatural, transformation, and untamed nature.
