Frankenstein
Mary Shelley tizennyolc évesen, egy lidércnyomás hatására találta ki rémtörténetét egy baráti költői versenyre. A versenyt megnyerte, ezzel pedig teremtménye elindult világhódító útjára. A hátborzongató, mára már ikonikus történet szerint Victor Frankenstein életet lehel a holt anyagba, ám később megtagadja teremtményét - s ezért a szörny rettentő bosszút esküszik. A kétszáz évvel ezelőtt született mű - amelyet mindenki ismer, de csak kevesen olvastak - rákérdez a tudomány hatalmára, az emberek természetére, céljaira, a világban betöltött helyére, s magára a létezésre is. Bűnhődhet helyettünk más? Az emberiség védelmében sem? Mennyit bír el a lelkiismeret? Vajon ki az igazi rém: a teremtmény vagy teremtője? A kétszáz éves regény most új köntösben, a Göncz Árpád fordításából kimaradt részekkel, valamint a szerző legendás előszavával kiegészülve jelenik meg a Móra Kiadó gondozásában.

Frankenstein (EN)
The gothic tale of Frankenstein and his construction of a human being who runs amok has, with the help of numerous films, become one of the most vivid of horror stories. But Mary Shelley’s original novel, written in 1816, dealt more sympathetically with ‘the daemon’, showing how an initially beneficent creature is hammered into a daemon by the way he is treated.

The New Annotated Frankenstein
The most complete annotated volume of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein ever compiled appears for the 200th anniversary of the original publication.
"Remarkably, a nineteen-year-old, writing her first novel, penned a tale that combines tragedy, morality, social commentary, and a thoughtful examination of the very nature of knowledge", writes best-selling author Leslie S. Klinger. Yet Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is often reductively dismissed as a tacky monster film or a cautionary tale about experimental science gone haywire. Now, Klinger does for Shelley's story of early nineteenth-century horror what he did for Sherlock Holmes, Dracula and H. P. Lovecraft, bringing this gothic tale to nightmarish life by reproducing the original text with the most lavishly illustrated and comprehensively annotated edition to date.
For the first time, The New Annotated Frankenstein brilliantly accounts for variations between the 1818 and the 1831 versions of the text and includes an introduction by the director of Pan's Labyrinth, Guillermo del Toro, and an afterword by feminist scholar Anne K. Mellor. With over 200 illustrations and nearly 1,000 annotations, Klinger illuminates every hidden dimension of the "first truly modern myth."

Written between 1819 and 1820, author Mary Shelley unfortunately never saw this novella published. Though he enjoyed the writing, her father, William Godwin, refused to return the manuscript to her after she asked him to get it published in England, because he found the theme "disgusting and detestable".
