One of the best-loved fantasy classics of all time. One of the most translated, illustrated and reproduced horror tales ever written. Yet also one of the most profound and visionary works to explore questions that remain strikingly relevant today: can human beings overcome death? What makes a creature truly \u201chuman\u201d? And can man create life?<\/p>\n

The story was the brainchild of the English author Mary Shelley (1797\u20131851), who began writing the novel in 1816 while staying in Switzerland with the poets Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, her future husband. The idea arose from evenings spent reading ghost stories.<\/p>\n

Doctor Frankenstein\u2014\u201cThe Modern Prometheus\u201d\u2014is a scientist determined to bring to life an inanimate body assembled from lifeless human limbs. Using the power of galvanism, he succeeds in creating a grotesque being, crude yet endowed with terrifying strength\u2014a monster incapable of distinguishing good from evil, and shunned by a society that fears him.<\/p>\n

Battello a Vapore presents this unabridged, easy-to-read Italian edition of Frankenstein<\/em>, printed in the Leggimi\u00a9 font, which makes it easier for children with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) and Special Educational Needs (SEN).<\/p>\n
