Mathilda
'I am in a strange state of mind. I am alone-quite alone-in the world-the blight of misfortune has passed over me and withered me; I know that I am about to die and I feel happy-joyous-'The eponymous heroine of Mathilda narrates a tale of incestuous love from her deathbed. Her father's suicide by drowning, and her relationship with a gifted young poet, both contribute to her emotional withdrawal and lonely demise. This edition of Shelley's second novel, transcribed and introduced by Deanna Koretsky, explores the work both as a complex portrayal of taboo desires and as an intergenerational story of reckoning with the horrors of racism and patriarchy. Mathilda is often read as biographical, but this edition also highlights the issues of justice, gender, and rights. Illuminating Shelley's evolving views on activism and social reform, sexual fluidity, and the racial implications of her feminist politics, Koretsky uncovers Shelley's deep skepticism about the capacity of English society to adapt to changing demographics and bring about a more just world.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Frankenstein. Ediz.inglese
Uno scienziato con l'ambizione di sconfiggere la morte riesce ad assemblare una creatura con parti di cadavere e a dargli vita. Sostituendosi alla Natura ha, però, sovvertito il Suo ordine e ha generato un essere abominevole che viene abbandonato dal suo stesso creatore e che, per questo, non tarderà a vendicarsi. Prendendo spunto da teorie scientifiche innovative per l'epoca in cui è stato scritto, Frankenstein è in grado di farci riflettere profondamente sul rapporto tra gli uomini e tra questi e Dio e, inoltre, di tenere viva l'attenzione del lettore fino all'ultima pagina grazie ai numerosi colpi di scena. Un classico della letteratura horror nato da una geniale intuizione: può un uomo divenire il creatore di un altro essere umano? E come reagirà questa nuova creatura se inserita nella società?.

Frankenstein
More than 200 years after it was first published, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has stood the test of time as a gothic masterpiece—a classic work of horror that blurs the line between man and monster.<BR><BR>“If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear.”<BR><BR>For centuries, the story of Victor Frankenstein and the monster he created has held readers spellbound. On the surface, it is a novel of tense and steadily mounting dread. On a more profound level, it illuminates the triumph and tragedy of the human condition in its portrayal of a scientist who oversteps the bounds of conscience, and of a creature tortured by the solitude of a world in which he does not belong. A novel of almost hallucinatory intensity, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein represents one of the most striking flowerings of the Romantic imagination. <BR> <BR><BR> With an Introduction by Douglas Clegg<BR> And an Afterword by Harold Bloom
