Audiobooks by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Frankenstein, écrit par Mary Shelley et publié en 1818, est un roman gothique qui raconte l’histoire de Victor Frankenstein, un scientifique ambitieux qui crée un être vivant à partir de morceaux de cadavres. Son expérience tourne au drame lorsqu'il rejette la créature, la laissant seule et perdue. L’histoire explore des thèmes profonds tels que la quête du savoir, les conséquences de l'ambition démesurée, la solitude, et la responsabilité morale. Frankenstein est parfois considéré comme un des premiers exemples de science-fiction, mais outre le fantastique, l’autrice y aborde les questions de l'humanité et de la nature de l'âme. La créature, souvent perçue à tort comme un monstre, exprime une grande souffrance, ce qui en fait un personnage complexe et tragique...

Transformation

Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin was born on the 30th August 1797 in Somers Town, London.Her mother, the famous feminist philosopher, educator, and writer Mary Wollstonecraft died when Mary was only 11 days old and she was raised by her father, the philosopher, novelist, journalist, and perpetually in debt, William Godwin.Though Mary received little formal education her father taught her a broad range of subjects and added to her bright and curious personality she easily absorbed a good and broad education.In July 1814, after conducting a secret affair with the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who had earlier promised to pay off yet another round of her father’s business debts, the pair eloped to France. Within two months, penniless and pregnant they returned to England.Her husbands’ affairs caused her frequent heartbreak but despite all the travails, including the loss of her own child, Shelley’s recent inheritance gave them the opportunity to journey again to Europe.It was here that ‘Frankenstein’ was born and established Mary’s own name in literature.Her life hereafter was plagued with loss; the death of two further children and then her husband in a boating accident. Her writing continued through novels, travel pieces and biographies. Her short stories, some based in Europe, tackle difficult situations and genres as well the obstacles that women were burdened with in society. Her editorship of her late husband’s poetry was also widely praised. Mary’s radical politics continued to guide her journey throughout her life but, by 1840, illness had begun to haunt her years, depriving her of energy and vigour. Mary Shelley died on the 1st February 1851, at Chester Square, London of a suspected brain tumour. She was 53.

Wonder Of Women - Suicide Stories

Let’s be clear. We are all equal under the law. However, even in these more modern times that is not an absolute and still remains a distant ambition for many. In the days when Britain ruled the waves and bestrode the world as its policeman and plunderer in chief it also subjugated half of its own people to second class status. Women were chattel and property. There were some exceptions based on wealth and birthright but for the overwhelming majority your lot was to fall in with the rules and do as you were told. Many did.But whilst male society sought to place obstacles in the path to equality, it could not deny their literary talents, which many times they circumvented by using male pseudonyms. However, the soaring sales of magazines and periodicals during the Victorian Age meant they had voracious appetites for literature, whatever the sex of its gender.Dozens of authors appeared to fill the need. Narratives had new ideas. Characters were emboldened by societal changes and the female voice taking responsibility.The women included here are talents that dazzle. Put them up against anyone and they rise to the top. Whether they remain with an avid readership today or faded to obscurity with the passing of the times their quality remains undimmed. 1 - Women of Wonder - Suicide - An Introduction2 - The Legacy by Virginia Woolf3 - The Voyage by Katherine Mansfield4 - Paul's Case by Willa Cather5 - Cohen of Trinity by Amy Levy6 - The Mourner by Mary Shelley7 - The Quadroons by Lydia Maria Child8 - An Outcast of the People by Bithia Mary Croker9 - Blessed Are the Meek by Mary Webb10 - When Spirits Steal by Philippa Forest11 - The Cold Embrace by Mary Elizabeth Braddon12 - The Oculist by Catherine Wells13 - Sokratics in the Strand by Amy Levy

Frankenstein Retold Inclusively

Frankenstein was written in the Romantic literary period. The literary trend of the early 1800s produced poems that described how nature elevated and blissed human minds. Most literary work at this time was written and published by men. In amongst these ecstatic reveries of nature, the 19 year old, Mary Shelley wedged the chilling story of Frankenstein into the literary landscape and our minds forever. Her story filled an empty space in humankind's collective consciousness. That empty space was waiting for this story of over-reaching scientific madness. This version of Frankenstein is a translation not an abridged telling. I have translated the Old Romantic era English into easy-to-read accessible English. • The same characters say the same things at the same times in the story. • Plot point for plot point the story stays the same. • The themes are all preserved. • The transcendent and brutal settings of the story are still on the pages. • References to poems and other literature are explained. • Supplementary information supports understanding of the text. This book is for • humans who like to read archetypal literature in easy-to-read language, • neuro-diverse readers, • young readers, • English second language speakers, • English literature students who need a study guide to unravel the original Frankenstein. • anyone (I think that's most of us) who finds old English inaccessible but would like to read Frankenstein. This accessible Frankenstein is part of Inclusive Books (Inc!Bs) journey to rewrite history inclusively.

Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus

Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley about the young student of science Victor Frankenstein, who creates a grotesque but sentient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was eighteen, and the novel was published when she was twenty. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France in 1823.Shelley had travelled through Europe in 1814, journeying along the river Rhine in Germany with a stop in Gernsheim which is just 17 km (10 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle, where two centuries before an alchemist was engaged in experiments. Later, she travelled in the region of Geneva (Switzerland)—where much of the story takes place—and the topics of galvanism and other similar occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions, particularly her lover and future husband, Percy Shelley. Mary, Percy, Lord Byron, and John Polidori decided to have a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made; her dream later evolved into the story within the novel.

El amor se corrompe con el tiempo y la muerte se convierte en el mayor de los anhelos, es la única manera de escapar de un destino infausto. » “La transformación” – 1830 Pactos diabólicos, noches tenebrosas, parajes sombríos, tormentas, crueldad humana y monstruos… Misteriosos temores de nuestra propia naturaleza humana destruyen los límites del mismo intelecto convirtiéndose en el tirano que mueve todos los actos de Guido el protagonista del relato, cuyo orgullo y vicios lo han alejado inevitablemente de la senda del bien. “No deseo que las mujeres tengan más poder que los hombres, sino que tengan más poder sobre sí mismas”. Mary Shelley (1797–1851)
