Frankenstein
Frankenstein novela conocida mundialmente como Frankenstein, es una obra pionera, considerada iniciadora de la ciencia ficción. Publicada en 1818 y enmarcada en la tradición de la novela gótica, explora temas de tanta actualidad hoy como el de la moral de la ciencia, la vida eterna y la relación del hombre con Dios. La historia se ubica en la Europa del siglo XVIII y en plena efervescencia científica. El capitán de un barco ballenero escribe a su hermana Margaret sus vicisitudes y su encuentro con el tenebroso científico Víctor Frankenstein, quien en busca del secreto de la vida y sin medir las consecuencias que esto le traerá, crea un nuevo ser con partes de otros seres humanos muertos. En Frankenstein se decantan las posibilidades narrativas que ofrecía la antigua polémica sobre la construcción de autómatas, asunto tópico entre los científicos que disputaban sobre las razones éticas del saber. En la novela, el doctor Frankenstein termina dominado por su criatura y, con su invención, da forma literaria a uno de los mitos modernos con mayor raigambre popular.

Global Frankenstein
Consisting of sixteen original essays by experts in the field, including leading and lesser-known international scholars, Global Frankenstein considers the tremendous adaptability and rich afterlives of Mary Shelley’s iconic novel, Frankenstein, at its bicentenary, in such fields and disciplines as digital technology, film, theatre, dance, medicine, book illustration, science fiction, comic books, science, and performance art. This ground-breaking, celebratory volume, edited by two established Gothic Studies scholars, reassesses Frankenstein’s global impact for the twenty-first century across a myriad of cultures and nations, from Japan, Mexico, and Turkey, to Britain, Iraq, Europe, and North America. Offering compelling critical dissections of reincarnations of Frankenstein, a generically hybrid novel described by its early reviewers as a “bold,” “bizarre,” and “impious” production by a writer “with no common powers of mind”, this collection interrogates its sustained relevance over two centuries during which it has engaged with such issues as mortality, global capitalism, gender, race, embodiment, neoliberalism, disability, technology, and the role of science.

Frankenstein
A towering masterpiece of gothic fiction, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein: or, the Modern Prometheus brought to life the horror and science fiction genres and spawned countless cultural offspring. With the image of the stumbling, flat-headed, boltnecked monster Boris Karloff made famous so pervasive, it’s easy to forget how radical, insightful—and, yes, terrifying—the book is on its own terms. The would-be Prometheus of the book’s title is the brilliant Swiss scientist Victor Frankenstein, whose studies in natural philosophy and chemistry lead him to become obsessed with building a being out of old body parts and bringing it to life. But when he is miraculously successful, Victor is ho...
Frankenstein - The Modern Prometheus
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley about eccentric scientist Victor Frankenstein, who creates a grotesque creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement and is also considered to be one of the earliest examples of science fiction. Frankenstein, a Swiss student at the university of Ingolstadt, is led by a peculiar enthusiasm to study the structure of the human frame, and to attempt to follow to its recondite sources the stream of animated being.' In examining the causes of life, he informs us, antithetically, that he had first recourse to death. -- He became acquainted with anatomy; but that was not all; he traced through vaults and charnel houses the decay and corruption of the human body, and whilst engaged in this agreeable pursuit, examining and analyzing the minutiae of mortality, and the phenomena of the change from life to death and from death to life, a sudden light broke in upon him ...
