Acerca deste livro eletrónico

Frankenstein was published in 1818, the work of a 21-year-old genius named Mary Shelley. Hundreds of movies, adaptations, and monster masks later, its reputation remains so lively that the title has become its own word in the English language. Victor Frankenstein, a scientist, discovers the secret of reanimating the dead. After he rejects his hideous creation, not even the farthest poles of the earth will keep his bitter monster from seeking an inhuman revenge. Inspired by a uniquely Romantic view of science’s possibilities, Shelley’s masterpiece ultimately wrestles with the hidden shadows of the human mind.

Classificações e críticas

Eu queria ler um livro legal e encontrei esse , que parece ser , mas infelismente é em ingles vocês podem colocar na versão em portugues porfavor ? Estou esperando anciosa.

Frankenstein, tanto na literatura como no cinema foi o marco regulatório do terror moderno e científico. Imprescindível. Fantástico também é o leitor do GooglePlay que lê, de forma pausada, o texto ajudando a treinar o ouvido para a língua inglesa.

This dreadful story is gripping and very well written! Also, because of its complex vocabulary it is also recommended for students of english language.

Her tumultuous life included the loss of three children in infancy and her husband’s death by drowning in 1822. Nevertheless, her contributions to English literature continue to fascinate and inspire readers and artists alike.
