Popis produktu

Publikace: Frankenstein (Collins Classics) - SHELLEY, M.. HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open!' Written when Mary Shelley was only nineteen-years old, this chilling tale of a young scientist's desire to create life still resonates today. Victor Frankenstein's monster is stitched together from the stolen limbs of the dead, and the result is a grotesque being who, rejected by his maker, sets out on a journey to reek his revenge. In the most famous gothic horror story ever told, Shelley confronts the limitations of science, the nature of human cruelty and the pathway to forgiveness with rich language and evocative imagery. Publikace: Frankenstein (Collins Classics) - SHELLEY, M.. Viktor Frankenstein gelingt das Unfassbare: Aus Menschenknochen formt er einen menschenähnlichen Körper und haucht ihm Leben ein. Das überdimensionale, hässliche Monstrum versucht vergeblich, die Zuneigung der Menschen zu erlangen. In seiner Verzweiflung verflucht es seinen Schöpfer und beschließt dessen Vernichtung.§Der berühmte Klassiker von Mary Shelley. nejnovější edice klasických děl světových autorů v angličtině v upravené zkrácené verzi s vysvětlením obtížných anglických slov na konci knihy
