Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is the classic gothic horror novel which has thrilled and engrossed readers for two centuries. Written by Mary Shelley, it is a story which she intended would 'curdle the blood and quicken the beatings of the heart.' The tale is a superb blend of science fiction, mystery and thriller. Victor Frankenstein driven by the mad dream of creating his own creature, experiments with alchemy and science to build a monster stitched together from dead remains. Once the creature becomes a living breathing articulate entity, it turns on its maker and the novel darkens into tragedy. The reader is very quickly swept along by the force of the elegant prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multi-layered themes in the novel. Although first published in 1818, Shelley's masterpiece still maintains a strong grip on the imagination and has been the inspiration for numerous horror movies, television and stage adaptations.

A poesía de Rosalía de Castro agroma nun triángulo de furias: a reivindicación das mulleres; a meniña gaiteira que tatexa palabras inaugurais dunha nación non prevista; e a ira contra a precariedade, a compaixon polas persoas inocentes e tristes, a certeza da vulnerabilidade. Nese triangulo de furias afirmase a Rosalia feminista. Dalle voz a moza, a violada, a solteira, a vella, a nai obrigada a deixar o fillo so, as mulleres confinadas entre o amor romantico e unha idea estreita de familia. Avisa dos perigos do gaiteiro da festa, do emigrante que non ha volver, da violencia do poder. Defende a xustiza pola man. E crea a viºva de vivo: esa muller soa, sen rostro, sen amor e tamen sen amo que resolve, como unha Penelope navegante, deixar de agardar.
