Download or read book Frankenstein written by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Top Five Classics illustrated edition of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein includes all 65 hauntingly beautiful, moody, and subtly erotic woodcut illustrations by Lynd Ward from his 1934 edition; the unabridged 1831 text of the popular revised edition by Mary Shelley; a helpful introduction; and a detailed author bio. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is the foundational text of both the horror and science fiction genres, a classic that has been read, discussed, and adapted in every medium for more than 200 years. Dreamed up when the author was only 18 while on holiday in Switzerland with her lover Percy Bysshe Shelley and the poet Lord Byron, Frankenstein is the result of a challenge from Byron to each write their own "ghost story." The result was a tale that would become synonymous with horror, that would be the first novel to ask the question, Are there some things man was not meant to know? Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist, discovers the secret to endowing inanimate flesh with life. Without thinking of the repercussions, he throws himself into realizing his ambition, only to recoil in terror at what he has created. Rejected by his creator and humanity, Frankenstein's monster is driven by the primal desire to know love or, if denied that, to inspire fear.

Download or read book The Illustrated Frankenstein written by Jennifer Anderson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2010-08-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Illustrated Frankenstein," a faithful retelling of Mary Shelley's novel in picture-book format, appeals as both lavish art book and must-have reference for all children's libraries. This groundbreaking book redeems Frankenstein's Creature from Hollywood misinterpretations in prose and illustrations inspired by the original descriptions of his "pale, yellow, watery eye" and translucent yellow skin. The product of a happy mother-daughter collaboration, "The Illustrated Frankenstein" argues in the spirit of Mary Shelley's mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, that true education begins at the breast; the primary horror of Shelley's novel is not the Creature's violent acts but rather the lack of empathy and nurturing he is afforded. Illustrations are by California artist Barbara Harris Anderson, whose 27 richly symbolic paintings on canvas, in acrylic, archival ink and pencil, portray a deep love of the natural world to create narrative tension. Retelling is by the artist's daughter, Jennifer Anderson, former Stegner Fellow in fiction writing at Stanford University. "The Illustrated Frankenstein" illuminates Shelley's rapid-fire intuitions on themes such as technology and empathy, the evolution of human consciousness, and genius, making it an exhilarating read for all ages, from mature young reader to adult. Ultimately it captures the life-affirming vision of the original novel, contributing art that is a deeply sensual meditation on connectedness and the seasons of human life.
