Elle tue, cependant. Et son inventeur en sera l'ultime victime. On ne triche pas avec ce qui est réservé à Dieu : créer l'homme. Le sous-titre: Frankenstein, ou le Prométhée moderne. On est en 1818, quand Mary Shelley nous offre cette création-monde. Tout ce qui bientôt fera l'art romantique. Héros mangés d'art. Et la passion du voyage: dans ce roman incroyable on parcourt toute l'Europe de cette aristocratie nomade, Genève ou le Rhin, les Alpes ou l'Italie. Et puis cette longue remontée vers l'Écosse des malédictions.  Un défi tout aussi formel: jeu multiple d'emboîtements, de récits interposés, jusqu'à ce moment magnifique où le monstre lui-même se met à partler dans le livre. Mais pour dire comment il s'y est pris pour apprendre à parler et à lire. C'est à en pleurer: lui-aussi est victime de sa violence, avant de la renverser en menace. Alors qu'elle est belle, cette échappée d'un bateau vers le pôle Nord, embarquant Frankenstein à la poursuite de son propre monstre, l'être sans nom qu'il a formé de ses mains pour défier la mort. Vous l'avez déjà lu trois fois, l'inimitable roman de Mary Shelley, dans les vieux livres de l'adolescence ? Eh bien ça fera quatre. Et l'enchantement garanti, le frémissement aussi.  FB.

'I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion.' A summer evening's ghost stories, lonely insomnia in a moonlit Alpine's room, and a runaway imagination -- fired by philosophical discussions with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley about science, galvanism, and the origins of life -- conspired to produce for Mary Shelley this haunting night specter. By morning, it had become the germ of her Romantic masterpiece, "Frankenstein." Written in 1816 when she was only 19, Mary Shelley's novel of 'The Modern Prometheus' chillingly dramatized the dangerous potential of life begotten upon a laboratory table. A frightening creation myth for our own time, "Frankenstein" remains one of the greatest horror stories ever written and is an undisputed classic of its kind.

Swiss medical student Victor Frankenstein discovers the secret of life (which he never reveals, lest someone repeat the mistake). He then puts together a body, essentially a man, from various corpses. He then becomes horrified by the creature he has built, and abandons. The creature, suffering a great deal of neglect and abuse, still manages to get a thorough education, and learns of his lineage. After murdering Victor's younger brother, and framing the family maid, the creature tells his (admittedly) sad tale to his "father," and then demands a mate. Victor, in a panic, agrees, then thinks better of it at the last moment, destroying the new bride. In retaliation, the creature murders all of Victor's loved ones (including his wife), and leads Victor on a merry chase across the world. Nº de ref. de la librería AA79781848373273

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.

Obsessed with discovering "the cause of generation and life" and "bestowing animation upon lifeless matter," Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature's hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein.

What responsibilities do we have to each other? How far can we go in tampering with Nature? In our age, filled with news of organ donation genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, these questions are more relevant than ever.
