About this ebook
Mary Shelley's iconic book in a special hardcover edition with silver foil embossing. The novel about the young Swiss Victor Frankenstein, who creates an artificial human being, is a rare gem of romantic horror literature: the grandiose narrative skill with which the English author turned her subject into a story that remains popular to this day makes her "Frankenstein" novel stand out far beyond most comparable novels of its era. Hardly any other classic has had as many stage adaptations and film adaptations as Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". The text of this edition follows the 1831 revised edition.
- »If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear!« (from Frankenstein)
- »It's alive!« (from Frankenstein)

About the author
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797–1851) wurde im englischen Somers Town geboren. 1814 folgte sie dem Dichter Percy Bysshe Shelley auf den Kontinent und lebte dort mit ihm zusammen. Nach dem Tod seiner ersten Frau heiratete sie ihn 1816. Gemeinsam mit Lord Byron unternahmen beide eine Schweizreise, während der der Roman »Frankenstein« entstand. Percy Shelley starb bereits 1822; daraufhin kehrte Mary Shelley nach England zurück und widmete sich ganz der Herausgabe der Werke ihres Mannes.
