Frankenstein
Shelley, Mary
Coulthart, John
(il.)
During the rainy summer of 1816, four of the most talented English writers of his time gathered at Villa Diodati. The mansion on the shores of Lake Geneva was the setting in which Lord Byron, John Polidori, Percy Bysshe Shelley and his wife Mary were challenged to write a horror story. That game led the London-based author to create this story, considered the first novel within the science fiction genre, which tells of the attempt of a young medical student to create artificial life and the terrible consequences of his experiment. This is how Frankenstein was born, one of the great heights of Gothic horror and a brilliant reflection on scientific ethics.
