Récit d'épouvante, né de la lecture de romans allemands et des conversations de Mary Shelley avec Lord Byron et Percy Bysshe Shelley, "Frankenstein" est l'histoire d'un jeune savant suisse, Victor Frankenstein, qui construit un être humain avec des morceaux de cadavres provenant de cimetières et de chambres mortuaires. Le monstre ainsi créé est vivant, intelligent et physiquement très fort, mais animé de passions animales. II est conscient de ses défauts et de ses difformités car il est rejeté par la société et renié par son créateur. Il se venge en tuant l'ami, le frère et la femme de Frankenstein, puis se réfugie loin de toute présence humaine, dans les mers de glace de l'Arctique. Le savant part à sa recherche mais il est tué par le monstre qui disparaît ensuite définitivement. "Frankenstein", premier chef-d'oeuvre du roman gothique, récit à la fois philosophique et horrifique écrit par Mary Shelley à l'âge de 19 ans, est devenu aujourd'hui un classique de l'horreur et du fantastique. Il a fait l'objet de nombreuses adaptions au cinéma. Le talent de la romancière dans l'art de donner forme à des fantaisies macabres et terrifiantes y atteint des sommets.

Une histoire de vie après la mort et de savant fou.
16 juin 1816. L'orage gronde. Dans une ville cachée au milieu des arbres, sur les bords riants du lac de Genève, une petite société s'ennuie. Il y a deux poètes, Byron et Shelley, leurs compagnes, Claire et Mary, un médecin, Polidori. On se raconte d'horribles histoires, selon la mode du temps. On décide même d'en écrire. Dans la nuit, la jeune Mary - elle n'a pas encore 19 ans - ne peut dormir : elle rêve d'un hideux fantasme d'homme. Quelques jours plus tard naissent Victor Frankenstein et sa créature. Récit d'une inquiétante nouveauté, vite porté à la scène, très souvent ensuite à l'écran. Devenu si mythique que, dans l'esprit du public qui a oublié Mary Shelley, le créateur et sa créature se sont confondus.

Frankenstein: the 1818 text

Mary Shelley
- Universal Publishers
- 10 Juillet 2024
- 9782291981930
Mary Shelley's classic novel, presented in its original 1818 text, with an introduction from National Book Critics Circle award-winner Charlotte Gordon

Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read

The original 1818 text of Frankenstein preserves the hard-hitting and politically-charged aspects of Shelley's original writing, as well as her unflinching wit and strong female voice. This edition also emphasizes Shelley's relationship with her mother-trailblazing feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, who penned A Vindication of the Rights of Woman-and demonstrates her commitment to carrying forward her mother's ideals, placing her in the context of a feminist legacy rather than the sole female in the company of male poets, including Percy Shelley and Lord Byron.

This edition includes a new introduction and suggestions for further reading by National Book Critics Circle award-winner and Shelley expert Charlotte Gordon, literary excerpts and reviews selected by Gordon, and a chronology and essay by preeminent Shelley scholar Charles E. Robinson.

Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

The Last Man

Mary Shelley
- Saga Egmont
- 18 Avril 2022
- 9788726595871
Mary Shelley was ahead of her time - arguably by 200 years.
For when her novel 'The Last Man' was published in 1826 with a plot featuring a deadly global pandemic, the public was not impressed.
In modern days, it looks far more current.

Her first novel since 'Frankenstein', 'The Last Man' is set in the late 21st century as humankind is virtually wiped out by a global pandemic.
There are no zombies, but fans of 'The Walking Dead' will appreciate the apocalyptic theme and the way Shelley follows the fortunes of a small group of survivors as they unravel emotionally.

They include characters inspired by two men she was mourning: her husband and famous poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and the poet Lord Byron.
Can they survive? Or is the human race going the way of the dinosaurs?

Mary Shelley (1797-1851) earned her place in the pantheon of British novelists with her ground-breaking Gothic novel `Frankenstein' (1818). Considered one of the first true works of science-fiction, the book became an instant bestseller. But she was far from a one-hit-wonder, producing a host of other novels, including 'Valperga', 'Perkin Warbeck' and 'The Last Man'. Most were not well received in her lifetime, though, only being fully appreciated from the 1960s.
She moved in a circle of famed 19th-century writers and philosophers. She was married to the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and spent time with Lord Byron. Her mother was the philosopher and feminist activist Mary Wollstonecraft and her father was the political philosopher William Godwin.

Mary Shelley's work has been adapted for TV, stage and film on many occasions, with Boris Karloff famously playing Frankenstein's monster on screen in 1933. Other adaptations include `Mary Shelley's Frankenstein' (1994) starring Kenneth Branagh and Robert De Niro and `Viktor Frankenstein' (2015) starring Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy. Most recently, Elle Fanning portrayed Mary in Haifaa Al-Mansour's film `Mary Shelley' from 2017.

Frankenstein (The Original 1818 'Uncensored' Edition)

- 9788087664964
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is the original 1818 'Uncensored' Edition of Frankenstein as first published anonymously in 1818. This original version is much more true to the spirit of the author's original intentions than the heavily revised 1831 edition, edited by Shelley, in part, because of pressure to make the story more conservative. Many scholars prefer the 1818 text to the more common 1831 edition.
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by Mary Shelley about a creature produced by an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was nineteen, and the novel was published when she was twenty-one. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France in 1823.
Shelley had travelled in the region of Geneva, where much of the story takes place, and the topics of galvanism and other similar occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions, particularly her future husband, Percy Shelley. The storyline emerged from a dream. Mary, Percy, Lord Byron, and John Polidori decided to have a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for weeks about what her possible storyline could be, Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made. She then wrote Frankenstein.

The master of mythological retellings strikes again.

Most were not well received in her lifetime, though, only being fully appreciated from the 1960s.

The master of mythological retellings strikes again.

Mary Shelley's `Midas' (1922) is a mythological verse drama originally written for children. It is considered to be the romantic and lyrical counterpart to `Proserpine' (1832).

The play tells the story of King Midas, whose touch turned everything to gold, and the musical competition between the Greek God's, Apollo and Pan. The mighty King Midas must judge the winner of the contest but faces the wrath of a God for his decision.

Mary Shelley provided the blank verse while her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, wrote the lyrical poems. Their combined talents create a classic retelling of an ancient Greek myth. Fans of Madeline Miller's 'Circe', Jennifer Saint's 'Ariadne' will enjoy this master at work.
