HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open!' Written when Mary Shelley was only nineteen-years old, this chilling tale of a young scientist's desire to create life still resonates today. Victor Frankenstein's monster is stitched together from the stolen limbs of the dead, and the result is a grotesque being who, rejected by his maker, sets out on a journey to reek his revenge. In the most famous gothic horror story ever told, Shelley confronts the limitations of science, the nature of human cruelty and the pathway to forgiveness with rich language and evocative imagery.

Va néixer l'any 1797. De jove va trobar el seu "paradís de llibertat" en les costes d'Escòcia. Casada amb el poeta romàntic Shelley, aquesta autora és coneguda sobretot per Frankenstein, que destaca pel magnestisme de la història, pel vigor literari i per la profunditat filosòfica.

Shelley, así como uno de los hitos de la literatura inglesa en el siglo XIX. Esta novela, sin embargo, es hoy más conocida que leída, más famosa por sus adaptaciones cinematográficas y su presencia en la cultura pop que por la literalidad del texto, un s...

Analicé con todo detalle las causas por las que se produce el paso de la vida a la nad...
