Book Synopsis

Jugar a ser Dios es cosa fácil, pero tiene, para todos los involucrados, creadores y criaturas por igual, un alto, altísimo precio que entre todos pagamos tarde o temprano. Este libro nos lo hace ver y comprender magistralmente. Una criatura que ha sido engendrada con restos de cadáveres descubre que ha sido cruelmente engañada por su propio creador. Esta traición le será insoportable y provocará la espiral de la violencia con que la novela se encamina, con renovada intensidad, hacia su desolador desenlace. Mary Shelley es el padre y la madre de la ciencia ficción tal y como la concebimos: como un ejercicio de crítica de la realidad, como una visión panorámica de nuestros deseos más íntimos y de nuestros miedos más públicos. Una escritora imprescndible para entender el mundo en que vivimos, el caos que hoy nos lleva entre sus aguas turbulentas.

James Hynes

. . .[T]he novel Frankenstein is quite a read. . . .It's highly Romantic, in the literary sense. . .[there is] a good deal of attractive torment and self-doubt, from both Victor Frankenstein and his creation. . . .If ever a book needed to be placed in context, it's Frankenstein. —The New York Times Book Review
