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.

The Catcher in Rye is the ultimate novel for disaffected youth, but it's relevant to all ages. The story is told by Holden Caulfield, a seventeen- year-old dropout who has just been kicked out of his fourth school. Throughout, Holden dissects the 'phony' aspects of society, and the 'phonies' themselves: the headmaster whose affability depends on the wealth of the parents, his roommate who scores with girls using sickly-sweet affection.Lazy in style, full of slang and swear words, it's a novel whose interest and appeal comes from its observations rather than its plot intrigues (in conventional terms, there is hardly any plot at all). Salinger's style creates an effect of conversation, it is as though Holden is speaking to you personally, as though you too have seen through the pretences of the American Dream and are growing up unable to see the point of living in, or contributing to, the society around you.Written with the clarity of a boy leaving childhood, it deals with society, love, loss, and expectations without ever falling into the clutch of a cliche.

This Student Edition of The Crucible is perfect for students of literature and drama and offers an unrivalled guide to Miller's classic play. It features an extensive introduction by Susan C. W. Abbotson which includes: a chronology of Miller's life and times, a summary of the plot and commentary on the characters, themes, language, context and production history of the play. Together with over twenty questions for further study, detailed notes on words and phrases from the text and the additional scene 2 of the second Act, this is the definitive edition of the play. In a small tight-knit community gossip and rumour spread like wildfire inflaming personal grievances until no-one is safe from accusation and vengeance. The Crucible is Miller's classic dramatisation of the witch-hunt and trials that besieged the Puritan community of Salem in 1692. Seen as a chilling parallel to the McCarthyism and repressive culture of fear that gripped America in the 1950s, the play's timeless relevance and appeal remains as strong as when the play opened on Broadway in 1953.

Las mujeres, que leen, son peligrosas
Relegadas tradicionalmente a un papel secundario y a menudo pasivo en la sociedad, las mujeres encontraron muy pronto en la lectura una manera de romper las estrecheces de su mundo. La puerta abierta al conocimiento, la imaginación, el acceso a otro mundo, un mundo de libertad e independencia, les ha permitido desarrollarse y adoptar, poco a poco, nuevos roles en la sociedad. A través de un recorrido por las numerosas obras de arte que reflejan la estrecha relación entre libros y mujeres, Stefan Bollmann rinde un sentido homenaje a las mujeres y confirma el excepcional poder que confiere la lectura.
