فرانكشتاين

Author's name: Marie Shelley Publisher: Dar Al-Tanweer for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2015 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: Frankenstein's 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 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 in it bold new ideas for its time about creativity when it exceeds the boundaries of nature. This course has grown and somewhat separated from the novel itself, becoming in its own right a kind of metaphor and myth that has carved a path in other arts such as 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 or heard of Marie Shelley, the main plot and the strange events that the ambitious young scientist, seeking to discover the secret of life, led to. 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 pleasure of discovering that beauty and power in this enjoyable literary work.
