Passionné par les sciences occultes, Victor Frankenstein est persuadé qu'il peut donner la vie. Dans la solitude de son laboratoire, un soir d'orage, son rêve devient réalité... et tourne au cauchemar. Il vient de créer un être monstrueux. Victor fuit, épouvanté. Mais il est trop tard : la créature, rejetée de tous, prépare déjà sa vengeance... La subtile lecture de François Hatt vient plonger l'auditeur au coeur de ce chef-d'oeuvre intemporel, à la croisée de l'horrifique et du philosophique. Ce mythe du Prométhée moderne, écrit en trois jours par la jeune Mary Shelley, a bouleversé la littérature, et il continue d'exalter l'imagination.

Frankenstein

Amori impossibili, vite prematuramente spezzate, affascinanti fuorilegge, fanciulle disperate, sogni divinatori, equivoci, riconoscimenti, vendette, e naturalmente matrimoni, nascite, vittorie. Ha avuto lei stessa una vita avventurosa come un romanzo, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, divenuta poi famosa come Mary Shelley, autrice del celeberrimo Frankenstein o il moderno Prometeo. Il successo di quest'opera straordinaria, composta a soli diciannove anni, ha forse per troppo tempo sovrastato la sua autrice; questa raccolta di racconti permette finalmente di conoscerne il mondo interiore, la vivace intelligenza, l'impressionante talento narrativo. Racconti - alcuni dei quali ambientati in Italia, dove la scrittrice visse per un periodo - apparsi su riviste dell'epoca, in cui si sviluppano vari temi a lei cari: classi sociali e rivoluzione, religione, famiglia, identità personale e nazionale, attraverso storie dalle inconfondibili ambientazioni gotiche e romantiche in cui a farla da padrone è il destino, talvolta crudele, talvolta generoso, ma sempre implacabile.

Frankenstein ou le Prométhée moderne

July 16, 1833.--This is a memorable anniversary for me; on it I complete my three hundred and twenty-third year!

The Wandering Jew?--certainly not. More than eighteen centuries have passed over his head. In comparison with him, I am a very young Immortal.

Am I, then, immortal? This is a question which I have asked myself, by day and night, for now three hundred and three years, and yet cannot answer it. I detected a grey hair amidst my brown locks this very day--that surely signifies decay. Yet it may have remained concealed there for three hundred years--for some persons have become entirely white-headed before twenty years of age.

I will tell my story, and my reader shall judge for me. I will tell my story, and so contrive to pass some few hours of a long eternity, become so wearisome to me. For ever! Can it be? to live for ever! I have heard of enchantments, in which the victims were plunged into a deep sleep, to wake, after a hundred years, as fresh as ever: I have heard of the Seven Sleepers--thus to be immortal would not be so burthensome: but, oh! the weight of never-ending time--the tedious passage of the still-succeeding hours! How happy was the fabled Nourjahad!--But to my task.

Mary Shelley's short stories

Written by Mary Shelley (1797-1851), Frankenstein is the best-selling horror classic about an experiment that goes horribly wrong, and a monster who swears revenge on his creator. Swiss student Victor Frankenstein uncovers the secret to bringing life to what is lifeless, and in assembling body parts to create a monster, ultimately sets the stage for his own destruction and that of everything he loves when the monster is rejected by society. Penned as part of a competition between Mary Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Polidori to see who could write the best horror story, Frankenstein is resonant with themes of love, friendship, hubris, and fear. It presents the epic battle between man and monster, showing that man is not always capable of controlling that which he creates. Frankenstein was first published anonymously in London in 1818, reflecting English biases towards female authors, and Mary Shelley was not credited as the author of Frankenstein until the French edition was published in 1823. Frankenstein has had a lasting influence on literary tradition, opening the door to literary horror as a genre, and is widely recognized as the first work of science fiction. It has been adapted for film, television, and stage, as well as providing the basis for new works of literary fiction.

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; or, The Modern Prometheus 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. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France in 1823.
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.

Frankenstein (The Original 1818 'Uncensored' Edition)

Quelle créature monstrueuse est plus célèbre que celle imaginée par Mary Shelley ? Son roman, écrit en 1816, a ouvert toutes les portes du fantastique et de la science-fiction modernes. Pourtant, Frankenstein est un des grands malentendus de la littérature mondiale. Car il n'est pas le monstre, mais son créateur, jeune homme désireux de percer à jour l'essence même de la vie. Pour cela, il crée un être vivant de toutes pièces. Mais le résultat né de cadavres assemblés est si effroyable que Viktor Frankenstein préfère fuir. Livrée à elle-même, la créature douée d'intelligence et assoiffée d'amour doit apprendre à survivre, à affronter l'effroi et la haine que son apparence génère. Y a-t-il d'autres réponses possibles à son indicible solitude que s'abandonner à la détestation des hommes, au meurtre et à la traque impitoyable de son créateur ? C'est alors que le roman de Mary Shelley interpelle : qui est le monstre en réalité ?

Frankenstein est un roman original à plus d'un titre. Sa première version, publiée sans nom d'auteur, a été écrite par une jeune femme de 19 ans. Le livre est considéré, en outre, comme le dernier roman gothique et comme l'un des tout premiers romans de science-fiction. Il raconte l'histoire d'un "savant fou", Victor Frankenstein, qui, par ambition démesurée, en vient à créer un être humain à partir de cadavres et d'une "étincelle de vie". Ce sera, hélas, le point de départ de nombreux malheurs...
