Frankenstein

Frankenstein è un romanzo straordinario sotto molti punti di vista. Pubblicato per la prima volta senza il nome dell'autore, fu scritto da una giovane donna di 19 anni. Da molti è considerato come l'ultimo vero romanzo gotico, da tutti come uno dei primi romanzi di fantascienza. La vicenda narrata è quella di uno "scienziato folle", Victor Frankenstein, che per ambizione smodata, crea un essere umano assemblando pezzi di cadaveri e infondendovi una scintilla di vita. Da qui avrà inizio una serie di sciagure. Sin dalla sua prima pubblicazione, quasi due secoli fa, la storia di Victor Frankenstein e della sua mostruosa  creatura ha incantato i lettori e continua ancora oggi a esercitare il suo fascino immutato sulle nuove generazioni. Romanzo carico di un'intensità allucinata, Frankenstein rappresenta una delle più suggestive creazioni della fantasia romantica.

After a long series of civil dissension--after many battles, whose issue involved the fate of thousands--after the destruction of nearly all the English nobility in the contest between the two Roses, the decisive battle of Bosworth Field was fought on the 22d of August, 1415, whose result was to entwine, as it was called, the white and red symbols of rivalship, and to restore peace to this unhappy country.

The day had been sunny and warm: as the evening closed in a west wind rose, bringing along troops of fleecy clouds, golden at sunset, and then dun and grey, veiling with pervious network the many stars. Three horsemen at this hour passed through the open country between Hinckley and Welford in Leicestershire. It was broad day when they descended from the elevation on which the former stands, and the villagers crowded to gaze upon the fugitives, and to guess, from the ensigns they bore, to which party they belonged, while the warders from the near castle hastened out to stop them, thus to curry favour with the conqueror; a design wholly baffled.

The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck

De L'Amour

As "the last man, " Lionel Verney is witness to a plague that destroys mankind in the last days of the twenty-first century. As part of the English ruling elite, Lionel and his family are able to escape the epidemic, but as their numbers dwindle, Lionel is eventually left alone to ponder both his fate and that of the world he knew. First published in 1826, The Last Man is notable for author Mary Shelley's fictional portrayals of her late husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and their close friend, Lord Byron. The novel's apocalyptic setting provided the backdrop for Shelley to explore themes of selfishness and brutality alongside of loyalty and love.
