Synopsis

Si alguna vez has dado forma a un muñeco de plastilina, tela, madera o papel, y le has prestado tu voz y tus sentimientos para darle vida, entonces has creado algo parecido a lo que hizo Frankenstein, un doctor suizo que después de años de estudio logró crear un nuevo ser.En el laboratorio que tenía en el sótano de su casa, este doctor armó un cuerpo humano completo al que, sin embargo, no encontraba cómo darle vida. Una noche de tormenta y viendo que el cielo se iluminaba por infinidad de relámpagos, Frankenstein colocó el cuerpo bajo la fuerte lluvia y vio fascinado cómo la criatura cobraba vida gracias a la electricidad de un rayo que le había atravesado el cuerpo... de esto y más te enterarás al acercarte a esta intrigante y ya muy famosa historia.

About this title

Review:

Frankenstein, loved by many decades of readers and praised by such eminent literary critics as Harold Bloom, seems hardly to need a recommendation. If you haven't read it recently, though, you may not remember the sweeping force of the prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multilayered doppelgänger themes of Mary Shelley's masterpiece. As fantasy writer Jane Yolen writes of this (the reviewer's favorite) edition, "The strong black and whites of the main text [illustrations] are dark and brooding, with unremitting shadows and stark contrasts. But the central conversation with the monster--who owes nothing to the overused movie image ... but is rather the novel's charnel-house composite--is where [Barry] Moser's illustrations show their greatest power ... The viewer can all but smell the powerful stench of the monster's breath as its words spill out across the page. Strong book-making for one of the world's strongest and most remarkable books." Includes an illuminating afterword by Joyce Carol Oates.
