Frankenstein
Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was the daughter of the philosopher William Godwin, who disowned her when she eloped with the married man and poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. They married after the suicide of his first wife. It was their friend Lord Byron, with whom the couple spent a summer in Switzerland, who suggested that she and Percy each write a horror story. Frankenstein was the result, inspired by a nightmare Shelley had when she was eighteen years old and published by the time she was twenty-one.

Frankenstein: The 1818 Text
Mary Shelley’s classic novel, presented in its original 1818 text, with an introduction from National Book Critics Circle award-winner Charlotte Gordon Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read The original 1818 text of Frankenstein preserves the hard-hitting and politically-charged aspects of Shelley’s original writing, as well as her unflinching wit and strong female voice. This edition also emphasizes Shelley’s relationship with her mother—trailblazing feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, who penned A Vindication of the Rights of Woman—and demonstrates her commitment to carrying forward her mother’s ideals, placing her in the context of a feminist legacy rather than the sole female in the company of male poets, including Percy Shelley and Lord Byron. This edition includes a new introduction and suggestions for further reading by National Book Critics Circle award-winner and Shelley expert Charlotte Gordon, literary excerpts and reviews selected by Gordon, and a chronology and essay by preeminent Shelley scholar Charles E. Robinson. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

The Last Man
The Last Man, by Mary Shelley, chronicles the last days of humanity in the 21st century as it is slowly obliterated by a global pandemic. Radical changes and events across Europe-the king abdicates, turning England into a Republic; war erupts between Greece and Turkey-weaken the fabric of society, allowing an unknown and deadly disease to quickly spread across the world. Political leaders are disorganized; spiritual figures offer little comfort; science yields no answers. Previously distinguished individuals abandon their people in their time of need out of cowardice, while others admirably rise up to the occasion. Yet, none of this matters at all when humanity comes to its end.Mary Shelley wrote this book during the darkest time of her life. Over the years, she had lost her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley; her close friend, Lord Byron; and her children. Writing the novel became an instrument to process her own hopelessness and isolation-various characters are impressions of her departed loved ones.Contemporary critics were not kind to The Last Man. While Frankenstein was lauded for its depiction of scientific presumption, humanity's impotence and subsequent extinction were deemed offensive. The book faded into near-obscurity and merely survived until its rediscovery in the 1960s. After two World Wars, several epidemics, and the threat of nuclear annihilation, humanity's end may not have seemed as absurd any more.

A zonzo per la Germania e per l'Italia
Domenica, 12 giugno 1842: una signora di mezz'età, la cameriera, il figlio e un compagno di studi s'imbarcano a Londra sul Wilberforce diretti ad Anversa. Partono per una vacanza che durerà tredici mesi e che li porterà in giro per l'Europa, ultima tappa Sorrento. La signora non è nuova a lunghi viaggi. La prima volta che lasciò l'Inghilterra aveva sedici anni, era incinta, ed era in fuga d'amore con un uomo sposato, Percy Bysshe Shelley. Due anni dopo, tra le foreste del Giura e sulle sponde del lago di Ginevra, darà alla luce quel Frankenstein che da due secoli sollecita la nostra immaginazione. Adesso è vedova; madre affettuosa, si preoccupa di far fare una sorta di Grand Tour al figlio. Parigi, agosto 1843: Ferdinando Gatteschi, mazziniano, è a caccia di una donna che, ammaliata dal suo bell'aspetto e dal suo eloquio, gli allunghi qualche franco. La vedova cade nella rete. Estate 1844: escono i "Rambles", ultima opera di Mary Shelley, in cui, per raccogliere fondi a favore di Gatteschi, ella racconta del viaggio con il figlio e del suo amore per l'Italia. "I Rambles in Germany and Italy" rientrano nella tradizione della letteratura di viaggio al femminile. I Rambles si muovono su tre livelli: il reale percorso geografico, la riflessione storico-politica, i ricordi personali. Per la Shelley, come per tutte le donne che visitarono l'Italia nell'Ottocento, il nostro Paese divenne terra d'elezione il cui bisogno di indipendenza esse si sentivano chiamate a sostenere.
