Product description

Frankenshtein novel is often viewed as a horror novel, and this is an injustice to a fine literary work considered one of the jewels of English and world literature and one of the most read around the world, in addition to being one of the most studied and analyzed literary texts due to its high literary and intellectual value, and because it is a smooth and exciting text. But the course of this particular novel is more complex than others, as Shelley presented bold new ideas for her time about creativity when it surpasses the limits of nature. This course grew and somehow became independent from the novel itself, and became in its own right a kind of metaphor and myth that carved its way into other arts like cinema, theater, caricature, and comics. The name Frankenstein has become synonymous with all creativity when it turns into an obsession that brings severe consequences to the creator and the world, and synonymous with brutality. Almost everyone knows, even those who have not read the novel and have not heard of Mary Shelley, the main plot and the strange events led by the ambitious young scientist seeking to discover the secret of life and reach it. From assembled parts of different corpses, he creates a giant creature that turns out to be a hideous monster whose personality is not devoid of sensitive feelings. But those who have not read the novel, or thought it was just a terrifying mythical story, missed the joy of discovering that beauty and power in this enjoyable literary work.
