Frankenstein (Bloomsbury Classics) - Softcover
Lock the doors and prepare yourself for one of the most chilling stories ever told—a tale of monstrous invention and dire consequences. Stylish and teen-friendly, Bloomsbury Classics bring a cool, contemporary appeal to some of the most exciting books ever written. Each title has a foreword by a top children's author that explains "Why You Should Read This Book." Plus, a fun "newspaper" at the back of each book is packed with interesting facts and details—including a brief author biography, details on the fashions and music of the times, and a gossip column about key figures of the day.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
About the Author:
MARY SHELLEY was born in London on August 17, 1797. Her mother, the celebrated feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft, died a few days after her birth. Her father, William Godwin, a well-known anarchist and atheist writer, tutored Mary. In 1814, when she was sixteen, she fell in love with the married poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and they eloped to France. In 1816 the couple travelled to Lake Geneva to spend the summer with the poet Byron. Mary was inspired to write Frankenstein after Byron arranged a ghost story competition during their stay. In the autumn of 1816 Shelley's pregnant wife drowned herself in the Serpentine in Hyde Park and Shelley immediately married Mary. The couple had four children together but only one son survived infancy. They lived in Italy until Percy's death in a boating accident in 1822. Mary continued to write until her death in London on February 1, 1851. She is buried in Bournemouth.
Review:
· "Frankenstein launched an entire genre of dystopian fiction, and a legacy of horror at the consequences of unbridled experimentation." --Daily Telegraph
