Beschrijving

In a tale that delves deep into the complexities of creation and ambition, a brilliant but misguided scientist embarks on a perilous journey that blurs the lines between man and monster. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, he seeks to conquer death itself, only to awaken a being that brings chaos and destruction into every aspect of his life. Shelley masterfully explores themes of isolation, responsibility, and the consequences of neglecting the creatures of one's own making.

As the narrative unfolds, the reader witnesses the tragic effects of the protagonist's hubris on both himself and the creature. This poignant exploration of the human condition raises fundamental questions about the nature of humanity, the quest for acceptance, and the depths of despair. Shelley's Gothic masterpiece remains a powerful reflection on the darker sides of ambition and the profound bond between creator and creation, inviting contemplation about morality and the ethical dimensions of scientific exploration.

El libro plantea temas profundos como la ética científica, que tan lejos es capaz de llegar el ser humano con tal de conseguir sus objetivos, lo inhumanos que podemos llegar a ser, la vida, la muerte y la naturaleza humana.En cuanto a Victor Frankenstein, era un joven algo egocentrico que jugo a ser Dios y cuando le da vida al monstruo, simplemente huye. Personalmente considero que el monstruo era muchísimo más humano que su creador, pero el rechazo y aislamiento que sufre por parte del mundo lo llevan a llenarse de odio. Lo otro que me sorprende es cómo el mounstruo es capaz de aprender a hablar, a expresarse y a leer sin que nadie le enseñara,Me sorprendió lo diferente que es la novela en comparación con las películas o dibujos animados (es demasiada la diferencia) y éstas no le hacen honra a esta obra maestra. Me gustó la escritura de Mary Shelley por su fluidez, riqueza de palabras, llena de matices fantasticos entremezclados con la realidad y antiguedad, que le da un toque apasionado.En resumen, el libro me encantó y pasó a mis favoritos, por lo que lo recomiendo a todos las personas que quieran iniciarse en el terror, en la ciencia ficcion o simplemente en la lectura. Puntuación: 5/5

I absolutely loved this novel. With all the hype surrounding Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming adaptation, my expectations were sky-high. Maybe it was the edition I read, but some of the iconic lines I was waiting for felt phrased differently than I imagined, and they lost a bit of their impact for me.That said, the story is hauntingly beautiful and layered with meaning. The creature’s narrative is deeply moving and painfully human — relatable in ways that are uncomfortable and profound. I especially loved the story-within-a-story structure; it adds richness and emotional depth to the entire novel.4 stars. Eerie, philosophical, and heartfelt… yet somehow, something small felt just out of reach.
