“Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.”
Victor Frankenstein mladi je znanstvenik koji oživi stvorenje od raznih dijelova leševa, a zatim kada shvati što je napravio napušta ga…
“Frankenstein ili moderni Prometej” (1818.) autorice Mary Shelley smatra se klasikom gotičke književnosti i začetnikom znanstvene fantastike. Mary Shelley započela je pisanje romana sa samo 18 godina, a dovršila ga kada je imala 20. Iskreno, ne vjerujem da je ni u najluđim snovima mogla zamisliti koliki će uspjeh njezina priča doživjeti. Više od dvjesto godina kasnije evo i mene 😊
Ah moj Frankensteinu…
Na početku si me namučio, a do kraja potpuno osvojio!
Čitanje sam započela u listopadu, odustala u studenom i srećom vratila mu se u siječnju. Srećom, jer nakon što sam se uspjela probiti kroz nekoliko sporijih poglavlja, Frankenstein je postao sve! Sve ono što sam očekivala i zapravo još i više.
Frankenstein je roman u kojem ćete pronaći ljubav i mržnju, zločin i bol. Likove koji neprestano testiraju granice prirode, morala i vaše empatije. Izaziva i tjeskobu i tugu i suosjećanje prema likovima, a nekoliko puta ostavio me bez daha i napuknutog srca…
Uglavnom čitajte ga! Dajte mu priliku, jer zaista se radi o vrhunskom romanu!

Frankenstein – Mary Shelley
Victor Frankenstein is a young scientist who brings a creature to life from various parts of corpses, and then, when he realizes what he has done, abandons it…
“Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus” (1818) by Mary Shelley is considered a classic of Gothic literature and the originator of science fiction. Mary Shelley began writing the novel when she was only 18 years old and finished it when she was 20. Honestly, I don’t think she could have imagined in her wildest dreams how successful her story would be. More than two hundred years later, here I am 😊
Oh my dear Frankenstein…
You tormented me at the beginning, but completely won me over by the end!
I started reading it in October, gave up in November, and luckily I returned to it in January. Luckily, because after I managed to get through a few slower chapters, Frankenstein became everything! Everything I expected and actually even more.
Frankenstein is a novel in which you will find love and hate, crime and pain. Characters who constantly test the limits of nature, morality and your empathy. It evokes both anxiety and sadness and compassion for the characters, and several times it left me gasping and heartbroken…
All in all read it! Give it a chance, because it truly is a superb novel!
