The Sunday Times number one bestseller The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth-rates, mass immigration and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive change as a society. This book is not only an analysis of demographic and political realities, but also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes reporting from across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who appear to welcome them in to the places which cannot accept them. Told from this first-hand perspective, and backed with impressive research and evidence, the book addresses the disappointing failure of multiculturalism, Angela Merkel's U-turn on migration, the lack of repatriation and the Western fixation on guilt. Murray travels to Berlin, Paris, Scandinavia, Lampedusa and Greece to uncover the malaise at the very heart of the European culture, and to hear the stories of those who have arrived in Europe from far away. In each chapter he also takes a step back to look at the bigger issues which lie behind a continent's death-wish, answering the question of why anyone, let alone an entire civilisation, would do this to themselves He ends with two visions of Europe - one hopeful, one pessimistic - which paint a picture of Europe in crisis and offer a choice as to what, if anything, we can do next.

One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'The Penguin English Library Edition of Frankenstein by Mary ShelleyA twisted, upside-down creation myth, Mary Shelley's chilling Gothic tale lays bare the dark side of science, and the horror within us all. It tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, who plunders graveyards to create a new being from the bodies of the dead - but whose botched creature causes nothing but murder and destruction. Written after a nightmare when its author was only eighteen, Frankenstein gave birth to the modern science fiction novel.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.¿A qui va dirigit el llibre FRANKENSTEIN?Frankenstein és una novel·la amb un ampli espectre de lectors. La seva temàtica universal sobre la creació, la responsabilitat, el rebuig i les conseqüències del progrés científic la fa accessible a un públic divers. Es recomana per a lectors joves interessats en la ciència-ficció i el terror gòtic, així com per a adults que busquen una obra literària amb profunditat filosòfica i social. La complexitat de la narrativa i l'exploració de temes morals la converteixen en una lectura enriquidora per a estudiants de literatura i filosofia. En definitiva, l'obra transcendeix les barreres generacionals i ofereix una experiència de lectura significativa per a un ampli rang d'edats i nivells de coneixement.Temes que tracta el llibre FrankensteinFrankenstein explora una multitud de temes interconnectats que la converteixen en una obra complexa i multifacètica. Alguns dels temes més rellevants són:L'ambició científica i les seves conseqüències: La novel·la presenta una crítica a l'ambició desmesurada del científic que busca transcendir els límits naturals sense considerar les implicacions ètiques i morals dels seus actes. El Dr. Frankenstein s'obsessiona amb la creació de vida artificial, sense preveure les conseqüències devastadores del seu experiment. Aquest tema convida a la reflexió sobre la responsabilitat del científic a la societat i la necessitat d'una ètica rigorosa en la investigació.La creació i la responsabilitat: El tema central gira entorn de la creació de vida i la responsabilitat que comporta. Frankenstein crea una criatura, però la abandona a la seva sort, sense assumir les conseqüències dels seus actes. La novel·la explora la relació entre creador i criatura, qüestionant el dret a la creació i l'obligació de cuidar el que s'ha creat.El rebuig i el prejudici: La criatura de Frankenstein és rebutjada per la societat a causa de la seva aparença monstruosa. La novel·la mostra com el prejudici i la por al diferent poden conduir a l'exclusió i la violència. Aquest tema convida a la reflexió sobre la importància de l'acceptació i la tolerància cap als altres, independentment de les seves diferències físiques o socials.La naturalesa humana: Frankenstein explora la naturalesa humana en els seus aspectes més foscos i complexos. La novel·la mostra la capacitat de l'ésser humà per a la crueltat, la venjança i l'autodestrucció, però també la seva capacitat per a l'amor, la compassió i la redempció. L'obra presenta una visió ambivalent de la condició humana, sense simplificacions ni judicis morals fàcils.L'aïllament i la soledat: Tant el Dr. Frankenstein com la seva criatura experimenten un profund aïllament i soledat. El científic s'aïlla per la culpa i l'horror de la seva creació, mentre que la criatura és rebutjada per la societat. La novel·la explora les conseqüències de l'aïllament social i la importància de les relacions humanes per al benestar individual.El poder de la naturalesa: La novel·la contrasta el poder de la naturalesa amb el poder de la ciència. La naturalesa es presenta com una força poderosa i imprevisible, capaç de destruir i crear. La ciència, per la seva banda, es presenta com una eina poderosa, però també perillosa, que pot ser utilitzada per al bé o per al mal.Resum de crítiques, opinions i valoracions del llibre FRANKENSTEINEs considera una obra fonamental de la literatura gòtica i de ciència-ficció, alabada per la seva capacitat per generar inquietud i reflexió. Ha estat objecte de nombroses adaptacions cinematogràfiques i teatrals, el que demostra la seva perdurable influència en la cultura popular. La novel·la ha estat àmpliament estudiada i analitzada des de diferents perspectives, destacant la seva complexitat temàtica i la seva riquesa literària. Es reconeix el seu impacte en la literatura i la seva capacitat per generar debat sobre temes ètics i morals rellevants per a la humanitat. L'obra continua sent llegida i apreciada per la seva capacitat per commoure i desafiar el lector.
