Beschreibung

"The monster was human—yet not. The creator was brilliant—yet doomed."

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is not just a tale of horror—it is the birth of modern science fiction. Written when Shelley was only 18, this timeless masterpiece explores the dangers of unchecked ambition, the thirst for knowledge, and the haunting consequences of playing god.

Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist driven by obsession, succeeds in bringing life to a creature made from corpses. But his triumph turns to terror as the being he created—intelligent, sensitive, yet shunned by society—seeks revenge for his misery.

Dark, tragic, and deeply philosophical, Frankenstein examines the boundaries of science, morality, and humanity itself. It is both a Gothic horror story and a profound reflection on responsibility, loneliness, and the human soul.

🌟 Why Readers Love It:

A chilling Gothic classic that shaped modern horror and science fiction.

Explores deep philosophical questions about creation, morality, and isolation.

Continues to inspire countless films, adaptations, and cultural references.

📖 First published in 1818, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein remains one of the most influential novels of all time—haunting, thought-provoking, and unforgettable.

    At the beginning of the XXth century, there was an unprecedented explosion of creativity in all artistic fields. Overwhelming both Europe and North America, the Russian Ballet revolutionized theatrical design with their stage sets and their costumes that were ablaze with colour yet refind in effect, bearing much of the mystic of the Orient yet also visually influenced by the work of the Persian miniaturists. Together with Diaghilev, Léon Bakst showed himself to be the most talented of the theatre group designers of his time. The costumes he devised with exclusive art seemed to shimmer with a thousand colours. Dazzled by such powers of imagination, the author, Jean Cocteau, dedicated his book "Bonjour Monsieur Bakst" to him. The great contemporary composers Tchaïkovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and Stravinsky, among others, all had occasion to call upon his creative genius. Today, his designs remain very popular and may still be seen on stage scenes all over the world, admired by a public that remains as enthusiastic as ever.

    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Argo is a historical drama set during the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis. The film follows Tony Mendez, a CIA operative, who devises a daring plan to rescue six American diplomats trapped in Tehran. Posing as a Hollywood film producer scouting locations for a fake sci-fi movie, Mendez teams up with Hollywood professionals to create a cover story. The movie blends suspense, political intrigue, and dark humor, highlighting themes of deception, bravery, and international cooperation. Directed by Ben Affleck, Argo masterfully portrays the tension of a high-stakes operation amidst the backdrop of a volatile political climate. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Former President Jimmy Carter commented in an interview with Piers Morgan that he believed the film was a 'great drama' and deserved to win the Oscar for Best Picture. However, he pointed out that although 'ninety percent of the contributions to the plan were Canadian,' the movie gives nearly full credit to the American CIA. He suggested that the true hero was Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor.” 
      
    “For the opening scene, the director of photography handed out 8mm cameras to certain people in the crowd to make the scene feel authentic, as though it was real footage of the riot.” 
      
    “The Iranian official seen on archive footage at the end of the film, issuing threats against Canada for their role in the rescue, was later executed by the regime he served.”

    Horror can be a valuable conversation partner for the spiritual questions that animate so many of us. 
     
     
     
    Whether through a movie, television show, novel, or even myth, horror as a genre has always spoken to our deepest human fears and anxieties: fear of death, of the unknown, of knowing too much. Whether you're looking at classic narratives like Frankenstein, or contemporary films like Get Out, which explores racism and white guilt, horror provides a window into our culture and what makes us human. The same can be said of religion. 
     
     
     
    Horror movie buff and religion scholar Brandon Grafius finds common ground between these two seemingly disparate bedfellows—horror and religion—in Lurking under the Surface. What parallels can we draw between The Walking Dead and sacred texts? How do the stories of Hebrew Christian scriptures and apocalyptic films like A Quiet Place and Bird Box help us find hope when it's in short supply? When we treat them both seriously, we see that horror movies and religion lead us through the same sets of questions. Both explore questions of justice, hope, and our relationship to the world and the cosmos. And both offer us ways to make meaning out of the contradictory pieces of our world—a world filled with so much hope and so many recognizable fears lurking just beneath the surface.
