Product: La madre de Frankenstein (Andanzas nº 3) (Spanish Edition)
Description: En 1954, el joven psiquiatra Germán Velázquez vuelve a España para trabajar en el manicomio de mujeres de Ciempozuelos, al sur de Madrid. Tras salir al exilio en 1939, ha vivido quince años en Suiza, acogido por la familia del doctor Goldstein. En Ciempozuelos, Germán se reencuentra con Aurora Rodríguez Carballeira, una parricida paranoica, inteligentísima, que le fascinó a los trece años, y conoce a una auxiliar de enfermería, María Castejón, a la que doña Aurora enseñó a leer y a escribir cuando era una niña. Germán, atraído por María, no entiende el rechazo de ésta, y sospecha que su vida esconde muchos secretos. El lector descubrirá su origen modesto como nieta del jardinero del manicomio, sus años de criada en Madrid, su desdichada historia de amor, a la par que los motivos por los que Germán ha regresado a España. Almas gemelas que quieren huir de sus respectivos pasados, Germán y María quieren darse una oportunidad, pero viven en un país humillado, donde los pecados se convierten en delitos, y el puritanismo, la moral oficial, encubre todo tipo de abusos y atropellos.

Product: Frankenstein: City of Night
Description: From the celebrated imagination of Dean Koontz comes a powerful reworking of one of the classic stories of all time. If you think you know the legend, you know only half the truth. The mystery, the myth, the terror, and the magic continue....

They are stronger, heal better, and think faster than any humans ever created - and they must be destroyed. Not even Victor Helios - once Frankenstein - can stop the engineered killers he's set loose on a reign of terror through modern-day New Orleans. Only the one-time "monster" Deucalion and his all-too-human partners, Detectives Carson O'Connor and Michael Maddison, stand in their way. But as the three race to uncover the true dimensions of an age-old conspiracy, they will discover that Victor's new, improved models have infiltrated every level of the city's society...and far beyond.

Product: Frankenstein (AmazonClassics Edition)
Description: Obsessed with the secret of creation, Swiss scientist Dr. Victor Frankenstein cobbles together a body he’s determined to bring to life. And one fateful night, he does. When the creature opens his eyes, the doctor is repulsed: his vision of perfection is, in fact, a hideous monster. Dr. Frankenstein abandons his creation, but the monster won’t be ignored, setting in motion a chain of violence and terror that shadows Victor to his death.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, a gripping story about the ethics of creation and the consequences of trauma, is one of the most influential Gothic novels in British literature. It is as relevant today as it is haunting.

Revised edition: Previously published as Frankenstein, this edition of Frankenstein (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Almost two centuries after its publication, Frankenstein remains an indisputably classic text and Mary Shelley’s finest work.
This extensively revised Norton Critical Edition includes new texts and illustrative materials that convey the enduring global conversation about Frankenstein and its author. The text is that of the 1818 first edition, published in three volumes by Lackington, Hughes, Harding, Mavor, and Jones.

Related excerpts from the Bible and from John Milton’s Paradise Lost are now included, as is Charles Lamb’s poem “The Old Familiar Faces.”
“Criticism” collects sixteen major interpretations of Frankenstein, nine of them new to the Second Edition. The new contributors are Peter Brooks, Bette London, Garrett Stewart, James. A. W. Heffernan, Patrick Brantlinger, Jonathan Bate, Anne Mellor, Jane Goodall, and Christa Knellwolf.
A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.

Product: Frankenstein
Description: The premier monster story of English literature—a tale of science pursued to horrifying extremes
An origin story nearly as famous as the book itself: One dreary summer on the shores of Lake Geneva, amid discussions of galvanism and the occult and fireside readings from a collection of German ghost stories, Lord Byron proposed a game. Each of his guests—eighteen-year-old Mary Godwin and her future husband, the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, among them—would try their hand at writing a tale of the supernatural. Unable at first to think of a plot, Mary was visited one sleepless night by the terrible vision of a corpse, a “hideous phantasm of a man,” lurching to life with the application of some unknown, powerful force. The man responsible, a “pale student of unhallowed arts,” fled in horror from his creation, leaving it to return to the dead matter from which it had been born. But the monster did not die. It followed the man to his bedside, where it stood watching him with “yellow, watery, but speculative eyes”—eyes of one who thought, and felt.
The novel that Mary Shelley would go on to publish, the legend of Victor Frankenstein and his unholy creation, and their obsessive, murderous pursuit of each other from Switzerland to the North Pole, has been the stuff of nightmares for nearly two centuries. A masterpiece of Romantic literature, it is also one of the most enduring horror stories ever written.
