Frankenstein - Sasha Newborn - Bog

Mary Shelley's story of the Frankenstein creature came from Byron's insistence that he and his guests entertain themselves on a rainy day on Lake Geneva with ghost stories. Mary's was by far the most original, and was very popular for its theme of reaching beyond, and possible consequences of such reaching. Her narrative not only documents the scientist but also illuminates the creature's story. The pursuit of the obscured truth may also be found in Edgar Allan Poe's detective stories (www.createspace.com/4185216). As for Mary Shelley, one of her MSS only emerged a hundred years after it was written. Matilda (www.createspace.com/4177083) is a gothic tale of an orphaned girl whose father returns after fifteen years, but then develops a secret malady, which, when Matilda uncovers it, leads to disaster for both.
