Frankenstein or the creature seamed stole the name, the star and immortality to its creator, Dr. Victor Frankenstein, now forgotten ...

monster without a name, never named, yet it ends in the collective imagination by endorsing the surname of his "father" cursed, robbing him at once his name and his life.

And yet, without Victor, no creature, the irony .... It was time to make justice and finally emerge from the shadows where they were buried deep life and destiny of those who gave birth to one of the most famous monsters of our history, one that the image God gave life from nothing.

For Victor Frankenstein did exist, of course, like his monster elsewhere. They made that cross, God be praised for posterity, destiny a small splinter group also well known, the clan of Shelley, Byron and Polidori.

So get ready to know all or most of the birth of Victor through the creation of the monster to Frankenstein's tragic end in the middle of the polar ice ... What about the monster, the eternal, the legends about him succeed, but it could well have survived.

But how Mary Shelley said she would witness a beautiful day while she was staying in the now famous Villa Diodati become? The answer and assumptions (supported) between these pages devilishly exciting the pen of Andrew Francis advised Ruaud ...

Accurate, documented, illustrated, these " Many Lives of Frankenstein " devour in one go and make you want to dive back illico between the pages of Mary Shelley, whose life was also surprising that a novel (which modernity, what misfortunes cascades also ...).
