Crónica de un viaje de seis semanas
A la edad de 16 años, la joven Mary Shelley se fugó con su amante, el poeta Percy Shelley, en un viaje por Europa, lo que supuso un escándalo para la sociedad inglesa de la época. Su travesía los llevó, entre otros lugares, hasta Suiza, donde pudieron deleitarse con el formidable paisaje alpino, escribir, leer y vivir ajenos a las rígidas normas de la sociedad británica.

Frankenstein
There is no greater novel in the monster genre than «Frankenstein» and no more well known monster than the one that is at the center of this novel. However, the monster of «Frankenstein» is more than the common lumbering moronic giant that is most often represented. «Frankenstein's» monster is in reality a thinking intelligent being who is tormented by world in which he does not belong. In this depiction Shelley draws upon the universal human themes of creation, the nature of existence, and the need for acceptance. For it is without this acceptance that the true monster, the violent nature of humanity, emerges.
