Frankenstein ou le Prométhée moderne

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)

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

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.

Récit d'épouvante, né de la lecture de romans allemands et des conversations de Mary Shelley avec Lord Byron et Percy Bysshe Shelley, "Frankenstein" est l'histoire d'un jeune savant suisse, Victor Frankenstein, qui construit un être humain avec des morceaux de cadavres provenant de cimetières et de chambres mortuaires. Le monstre ainsi créé est vivant, intelligent et physiquement très fort, mais animé de passions animales. II est conscient de ses défauts et de ses difformités car il est rejeté par la société et renié par son créateur. Il se venge en tuant l'ami, le frère et la femme de Frankenstein, puis se réfugie loin de toute présence humaine, dans les mers de glace de l'Arctique. Le savant part à sa recherche mais il est tué par le monstre qui disparaît ensuite définitivement. "Frankenstein", premier chef-d'oeuvre du roman gothique, récit à la fois philosophique et horrifique écrit par Mary Shelley à l'âge de 19 ans, est devenu aujourd'hui un classique de l'horreur et du fantastique. Il a fait l'objet de nombreuses adaptions au cinéma. Le talent de la romancière dans l'art de donner forme à des fantaisies macabres et terrifiantes y atteint des sommets.
