Frankenstein

Autor: Mary Shelley

Número de Páginas: 230

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. Traduit de l'anglais par George Cuvelier et Eugène Rocartel @ Disponible chez 12-21 L'ÉDITEUR NUMÉRIQUE

Frankenstein - Third Edition

Autor: Mary Shelley

Número de Páginas: 359

D.L. Macdonald and Kathleen Scherf’s edition of Frankenstein has been widely acclaimed as an outstanding edition of the novel—for the general reader and the student as much as for the scholar. The editors use as their copy-text the original 1818 version, and detail in an appendix all of Shelley’s later revisions. They also include a range of contemporary documents that shed light on the historical context from which this unique masterpiece emerged. New to this edition is a discussion of Percy Shelley’s role in contributing to the first draft of the novel. Recent scholarship has provoked considerable interest in the degree to which Percy Shelley contributed to Mary Shelley’s original text, and this edition’s updated introduction discusses this scholarship. A new appendix also includes Lord Byron’s “A Fragment” and John William Polidori’s The Vampyre, works that are engaging in their own right and that also add further insights into the literary context of Frankenstein.

Frankenstein; o El Moderno prometeo

Autor: Mary Shelley

Número de Páginas: 169

En una época de descubrimientos científicos y ambiciones desbordadas, el joven Víctor Frankenstein desafía los límites de la vida y la muerte al crear una criatura a partir de restos humanos. Lo que comienza como un experimento brillante se convierte pronto en una pesadilla: al abrir los ojos, el ser que ha construido revela una profunda necesidad de afecto... y un dolor insoportable al ser rechazado por su creador y por el mundo. En esta lucha entre padre e hijo, creador y creación, Mary Shelley explora la responsabilidad moral, el deseo de conocimiento y el abismo que se abre cuando el ser humano juega a ser Dios. Publicada en 1818, Frankenstein es una obra maestra del romanticismo gótico y una de las primeras novelas de ciencia ficción. Más que una historia de terror, es una profunda reflexión sobre la humanidad, el rechazo y la necesidad desesperada de ser amado.

Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is an 1818 novel written by English author Mary Shelley. Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition was published anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20. Her name first appeared in the second edition, which was published in Paris in 1821. Shelley travelled through Europe in 1815 along the river Rhine in Germany, stopping in Gernsheim, 17 kilometres (11 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle, where two centuries before, an alchemist engaged in experiments. She then journeyed to the region of Geneva, Switzerland, where much of the story takes place. Galvanism and occult ideas were topics of conversation among her companions, particularly her lover and future husband Percy B. Shelley. In 1816, Mary, Percy and Lord Byron had a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley was inspired to write Frankenstein after imagining a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made. Though Frankenstein is infused...

Frankenstein and the Monster: Two Independent Characters Or Two Souls in One Body? The Attempt of a Psychoanalytical Interpretation

Autor: Tina Heesel

Número de Páginas: 56

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,3, RWTH Aachen University (Institut f r Anglistik), course: Gothic Novel, 14 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: This essay deals with Mary Shelley s "Frankenstein". People who do not know the book but only its title often associate the name Frankenstein with the monster. Why do many people think that Frankenstein is the monster? The question to be discussed in this essay is if Victor and the monster are both single and independent characters or if the monster can be described as Victor Frankenstein s double. This essay is the attempt to interpret the book from a psychoanalytical point of view. The analysis refers to the major works of Sigmund Freud. At first I describe and explain some basic knowledge of Sigmund Freud, such as his model of personality or rather the mental apparatus with its three organisational units ID, EGO and SUPEREGO. After that I name some tools the EGO can use, called Ego Defence Mechanisms, but this is only done very generally. The human drives have to be mentioned and explained because they are very important for the...

"I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion." A summer evening's ghost stories, lonely insomnia in a moonlit Alpine's room, and a runaway imagination--fired by philosophical discussions with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley about science, galvanism, and the origins of life--conspired to produce for Marry Shelley this haunting night specter. By morning, it had become the germ of her Romantic masterpiece, "Frankenstein." Written in 1816 when she was only nineteen, Mary Shelley's novel of "The Modern Prometheus" chillingly dramatized the dangerous potential of life begotten upon a laboratory table. A frightening creation myth for our own time, "Frankenstein" remains one of the greatest horror stories ever written and is an undisputed classic of its kind.
