“If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.”
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is a thrilling and captivating novel that has mesmerised readers for over 200 years. The story follows the brilliant and ambitious scientist, Victor Frankenstein, as he creates a monstrous being using stolen body parts. But as the creature struggles to find acceptance and meaning in a hostile world, Victor is consumed by guilt and fear, realising too late the horrifying consequences of his actions. As the two engage in a battle of wills and wits, Shelley's vivid and evocative language paints a chilling picture of a world gone awry, where science and technology have unleashed dark and dangerous forces beyond our control. "Frankenstein" is a haunting tale of ambition, revenge, and the consequences of playing God, which continues to shock and captivate readers today. This new audio edition is brought to life for 21st century listeners by narrator Jake Urry.Ver livro
On a train to Berlin in late 1930, William Bradshaw locks eyes with Arthur Norris. This chance encounter ignites a close friendship between the two Englishmen, one that draws Bradshaw into the seedier quarters of the city. Here, Norris runs a dubious import–export business and lives in excited fear of his bullying secretary, his creditors and his dominatrix girlfriend, Anni. Yet there is something sinister about Norris himself. Bradshaw’s new companion is a man of contradictions: heavily in debt but extraordinarily lavish, excessively polite but sexually deviant. He soon pulls the gullible Bradshaw deep into a dangerous political game. ‘A sort of glorified shocker,’ as Isherwood described it, Mr Norris Changes Trains (1935) brings to life the city of Berlin, teetering on the edge of catastrophe. Nicholas Boulton is in his element with its razor-sharp prose and dark humour.Ver livro
