Sinopsis

In Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein (Gothic Classic - The Uncensored 1818 Edition)', readers are transported into a world of science, ambition, and the consequences of playing God. Through the haunting tale of Victor Frankenstein and his creation, Shelley explores themes of power, responsibility, and the essence of humanity. The novel is written in a style that combines Gothic elements with philosophical reflections, making it a compelling and thought-provoking read. The descriptive prose and eerie atmosphere add to the overall impact of the story, drawing readers into a world of fear and moral ambiguity. 'Frankenstein' stands as a testament to Shelley's literary prowess and enduring influence on the horror genre. Mary Shelley's personal experiences, including the loss of her own child and the challenges of being a female writer in the 19th century, likely influenced her creation of this timeless masterpiece. Her unique perspective and imaginative storytelling have solidified her place in literary history. I highly recommend 'Frankenstein' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking narratives, Gothic literature, and exploring the depths of human nature.

    Brain injuries can result in highly specific and surprising changes in behavior that have revealed to us how the mind works.The brain is the most complicated object in the known universe. After spending millennia trying to understand our ever-changing world, the brain is now turning its capacities for reasoning, remembering, and understanding inward, as it tries to understand itself.The biggest breakthroughs in neuroscience have come mostly by accident. These accidents didn't happen in research labs. They happened on railway job sites, in showers, on bicycles, in cars or were the result of infections from uncommon diseases.When an individual suffers brain damage as the result of an accident or illness, the negative effects can be profound—life altering and lifelong—yet the insights offered by the effects of these injuries have been revolutionary for neuroscientists. Through an examination of landmark cases of traumatic brain injury, Dr. Lorin J. Elias explains how each case has expanded our understanding of the mind.
