Frankenstein
الوصف
La prosa de Jorge Aulicino y el arte de Ariel Olivetti tejen una narrativa rica en emociones y dilemas morales, invitando a los lectores a cuestionarse sobre la responsabilidad y la búsqueda del conocimiento. A medida que la historia avanza, la lucha entre el creador y su creación plantea preguntas sobre la identidad, la ambición desmedida y el anhelo de conexión.
En un entorno donde la ciencia y la cultura chocan, esta obra se redescubre como un clásico atemporal que resuena con las inquietudes actuales sobre el lugar de la humanidad en el mundo. La mezcla de la imaginación de Shelley con las interpretaciones contemporáneas de Aulicino y Olivetti ofrece una visión renovada de un relato que nunca deja de inquietar.
المراجعات
I loved this book. The story is so intense and emotional. It’s not just about the monster, it’s about loneliness, mistakes, and wanting to be loved. Mary Shelley’s writing is amazing, and the way she shows emotions and makes you think is the perfect point of this book.
This book dives straight into the consequences of unchecked ambition, the ethics of creation, and the devastating loneliness of being made “wrong” by the world before you ever get a chance to exist. Victor Frankenstein is brilliant but catastrophically irresponsible — he wants the glory of creating life, but none of the accountability that comes with it. His cowardice is honestly more monstrous than the creature’s violence.And the creature? Shelley gives him a terrifying level of emotional depth. He’s articulate, perceptive, painfully self-aware. His tragedy isn’t that he’s ugly — it’s that he learns empathy first, and cruelty second. Watching him shift from yearning for connection to calculating vengeance is the kind of character arc modern authors still try and fail to replicate.What really carries the novel is its atmosphere. The isolation. The raw, bleak landscapes mirroring the absolute unraveling of two souls who can’t escape each other. Shelley understood existential dread before we had a name for it.Is the pacing Victorian? Obviously. Does it meander? Sure. But the ideas are sharp enough to cut through any slow patches, and the emotional intelligence on display is still leagues above most contemporary “dark academia” imitators.Bottom line: Frankenstein is a masterpiece because it doesn’t just tell a story — it forces you to confront what responsibility, compassion, and monstrosity actually mean. And every time you reread it, you walk away with a slightly different answer.
