The original story of science gone berserk: one that changed how far our dreams can stretch. Imagine a human created out of corpses. A monster assembled by a scientist from parts of dead bodies develops a mind of his own as he learns to loathe himself and hate his creator.

But as Victor Frankenstein, the mad scientist, pursues his monster through the night, he hears the echo of its fearsome voice: "You are my creator, but I am your master. Obey!--WorldCat.

Advertencia de contenido Por si acaso lo pongo que lo que escribo puede destripar ideas preconcebidas sobre esta obra

Mientras avanzaba en esta lectura más me acordaba de Victor Hugo y su jorobado, que de Disney precisamente no era. Una muestra de como el cine "gana" en crear relato (ya que es tan moderno decir estas cosas), por ejemplo, a la inmensa mayoría de la gente que preguntes seguro que te responde que el monstruo se mueve de una manera muy concreta, y hasta aquí voy a escribir. En mi caso no es una obra maestra, ni se le acerca, pero es que no tiene que serlo, y además una historia que tiene más de doscientos años y sigue mereciendo mucho la pena ya es mucho decir. En definitiva, no tiene nada que ver con lo que creo que la gente espera por culpa del cine, ni mejor ni peor, distinto, así que a leer y que cada gusto escoja que color prefiere. Nota: 7,5/10.

Awesome read

The book deals mith such complex topics in an incredibly well written story. I read the first part of the 1831 version and then switched to the 1818 version (I read all three parts) and both versions are intriguing. It’s going to be in my Spooky Season list!
