Mary Wollstonecraft ShelleySiempre a la sombra de su obra más conocida, Frankenstein, esta novela, tal vez la más ambiciosa, estuvo mucho tiempo olvidada. Algunas interpretaciones recientes han visto en la extincion universal que en ella describe una metafora de los efectos destructores de un idealismo politico excesivo. Obra de vocacion futurista, ambientada en torno al año 2070, destacan entre sus personajes Adrian, hijo del destronado rey de Inglaterra y ardiente partidario de las ideas republicanas e igualitarias, y Raymond, un señor poderoso que rechaza un ventajoso matrimonio politico para casarse con su verdadero amor y que combate en Constantinopla por la libertad de un pueblo que no es el suyo. En esas circunstancias, se tiene conocimiento de una misteriosa epidemia que avanza arrasando paises enteros y que pone en peligro la supervivencia misma de la humanidad. El ultimo hombre es un clasico imprescindible que ofrece multiples lecturas: novela de anticipacion y de profecias apocalipticas, novela en clave, novela de iniciacion y relato de terror gotico.

By the dim and yellow light of the moon, as it forced its way through the window-shutters, I beheld the wretch-the miserable monster whom I had created. He held up the curtain of the bed; and his eyes, if eyes they may be called, were fixed on me. His jaws opened...Frankenstein is the most celebrated horror story ever written. It tells the dreadful tale of Victor Frankenstein, a visionary young student of natural philosophy, who discovers the secret of life. In the grip of his obsession he constructs a being from dead body parts, and animates this creature. The results, for Victor and for his family, are catastrophic.Written when Mary Shelley was just eighteen, Frankenstein was inspired by the ghost stories and vogue for Gothic literature that fascinated the Romantic writers of her time. She transformed these supernatural elements an epic parable that warned against the threats to humanity posed by accelerating technological progress.Published for the 200th anniversary, this edition, based on the original 1818 text, explains in detail the turbulent intellectual context in which Shelley was writing, and also investigates how her novel has since become a byword for controversial practices in science and medicine, from manipulating ecosystems to vivisection and genetic modification. As an iconic study of power, creativity, and, ultimately, what it is to be human, Frankenstein continues to shape our thinking in profound ways to this day.
