History of A Six Weeks' Tour: Through a part of France, Switzerland, Germany, and Holland: with Lett

"History of a Six Weeks' Tour (1817) is a volume of travel-writing by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Comprising prose narrative, correspondence, and poetry, it is a highly engaging account of their 'adventures and feelings' during two journeys from England to Switzerland at the end of the Napoleonic Wars. 'I never knew—I never imagined what mountains were before.' History of a Six Weeks' Tour (1817) is a volume of travel-writing by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and Percy Bysshe Shelley, two of the best-known authors of the English Romantic period. Comprising prose narrative, correspondence, and poetry, it is a highly engaging account of their 'adventures and feelings' during two journeys from England to Switzerland. The first part of History describes the titular 'tour' made by the not-yet married Mary and Percy in July-September 1814, when mainland Europe was once again accessible to British travellers at the end of the Napoleonic wars. The long descriptive letters which make up the second part of History recall the so-called 'Frankenstein summer' of 1816, some of which the Shelleys spent with Byron on the shores of Lake Geneva. This part of History also provides significant biographical and historical context for Mary's novels Frankenstein (1818) and The Last Man (1826), key sections of which are set in the Alps, and for two of Percy's most canonical poems, 'Hymn to Intellectual Beauty' and 'Mont Blanc', the second of which was published for the first time in History. This edition includes an introduction, detailed notes, maps, and appendices, placing the book in its historical and cultural context and showcasing the Shelleys' collaborative writing process."

Mathilda

"'I am in a strange state of mind. I am alone—quite alone—in the world—the blight of misfortune has passed over me and withered me; I know that I am about to die and I feel happy—joyous—' The eponymous heroine of Mathilda narrates a tale of incestuous love from her deathbed. Her father's suicide by drowning, and her relationship with a gifted young poet, both contribute to her emotional withdrawal and lonely demise. This edition of Shelley's second novel, transcribed and introduced by Deanna Koretsky, explores the work both as a complex portrayal of taboo desires and as an intergenerational story of reckoning with the horrors of racism and patriarchy. Mathilda is often read as biographical, but this edition also highlights the issues of justice, gender, and rights. Illuminating Shelley's evolving views on activism and social reform, sexual fluidity, and the racial implications of her feminist politics, Koretsky uncovers Shelley's deep skepticism about the capacity of English society to adapt to changing demographics and bring about a more just world."

[German] - Frankenstein - Erzählbuch (Ungekürzt)

"Mary Shelley erfindet den jungen Forscher Victor Frankenstein, der aus Wissbegier und Experimentiergeist den großen Fragen nach der Urschöpfung nachgeht. Wie kann leblose Materie zum Leben erwachen? Als er auf dem Gipfel seiner wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse ein Monster erschafft, dessen er nicht mehr Herr wird, ist ihm nicht klar, dass diese Kreatur nur eine Sehnsucht umtreibt: die Zugehörigkeit. Von den Menschen wegen seiner Erscheinung verabscheut und doch unwillentlich so in die Welt entlassen, nimmt die Kreatur seinen Schöpfer schließlich in die Pflicht: Vicor soll ihm ein Wesen bauen, das ihm gleich ist, das er lieben kann. Als Victor ihm diesen Wunsch verweigert, ist die Rache gnadenlos."

Mathilda

"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Written in 1819 but unpublished until decades after her death, Mary Shelley’s Mathilda is a hauntingly lyrical novella that delves into the darkest recesses of human emotion. With gothic intensity and introspective depth, Shelley weaves a tragic tale of emotional isolation, forbidden love, and existential despair. The story is told through the first-person narrative of Mathilda, a young woman who recounts her life from seclusion, revealing a childhood shaped by abandonment and a shattering secret that leads to estrangement, grief, and psychological torment. Set against windswept moors, desolate landscapes, and an atmosphere heavy with melancholy, Mathilda explores themes of paternal obsession, suppressed trauma, and the struggle for meaning in a world governed by sorrow. Combining Romantic sensibility with early psychological realism, Shelley delivers a bold and emotionally raw portrait of inner suffering and the devastating effects of emotional repression. More intimate and confessional than her better-known Frankenstein, Mathilda stands as a powerful reflection of Shelley’s personal grief and philosophical inquiry. This audiobook edition revives one of Mary Shelley’s most personal and daring works—a novella that continues to resonate for its beauty, courage, and emotional truth."

The Invisible Girl: She Vanished into Legend—Until Love Brought Her Back

"The Invisible Girl by Mary Shelley Mary Shelley is widely considered the mother of science fiction, and with good reason. Her 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is often cited as the first true science fiction story. It blends science, imagination, and moral inquiry in a way that was unprecedented at the time. Set on the Welsh coast, The Invisible Girl is a Gothic romantic tale framed by a story-within-a-story structure. The narrator recounts a mysterious legend told by a local nobleman about a seemingly haunted tower on the cliffs. According to the tale, a young woman named Rosina, once believed to have disappeared or died, had lived secretly in the tower and become known to locals as “the invisible girl.” Rosina had been in love with Henry, the son of the nobleman, but due to class differences and misunderstandings, she was cast out and presumed lost. Rather than leaving the area, she secretly took refuge in the abandoned tower, living in solitude and becoming a figure of myth. Eventually, her true identity was discovered, and the lovers were joyfully reunited."

The Last Man

"In our own time, when the dark threat of a dystopian world is not an alien or avoidable concept, The Last Man (1826) is revealed as a trailblazing novel. With a truly global view, Mary Shelley’s futuristic romain à clef – containing portraits of her husband Percy (Adrian), Lord Byron (Raymond) and several others – spearheaded the apocalyptic genre for an intimidated 19th-century readership that rejected her ‘diseased imagination’ and ‘polluted taste’. In the wake of COVID-19, the ravaging of a plague pandemic and its connection with politics has fascinating resonance. Told by Lionel, a wild child from Cumberland, the story begins in 2073 and sets out a horrifying future while creating an idealised past. From the political machinations of Westminster in London to the secluded Apennines in Rome, it covers an ongoing war between Greece and Turkey, the futility of the imagination, the dashing of hopes and expectations, and ultimately the survival of the human race. This superb recording by Justin Avoth ensures The Last Man’s place as Shelley’s most important work after Frankenstein."

Tales of the Dark Romantics & Beyond: A collection of mysterious and chilling works by

"At the heart of Dark Romanticism is its brooding, pessimistic tone, its emphasis on the supernatural and the sins of humanity, and its use of iconic symbols and horrifying imagery. The classic Dark Romantic authors (Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville) are represented in the stories and poems in this volume, as well as some authors who are not commonly included in this genre. And then there are the poets and folklorists momentarily dabbling in the themes of death, loss and the supernatural, resulting in a collection of classic tales that will chill the listener to the bone."

[Spanish] - Frankenstein o El Moderno Prometeo

"Audiolibro narrado en castellano. Víctor Frankenstein un hombre atormentado que desafía a la propia naturaleza, estudiante de ciencias naturales de la universidad de Ingolstadt crea un ser destinado a no tener lugar en el mundo, lo rechaza junto con su responsabilidad de haberlo creado. El repulsivo monstruo, tras huir del laboratorio, siente el rechazo de la humanidad y se despierta en él el odio y la sed de venganza convirtiéndose en la sombra del pecado de su creador. En un frío verano suizo, Lord Byron propuso a sus amigos un concurso literario del que salió una de las más turbadoras novelas de la literatura europea: Frankenstein o el Moderno Prometeo, escrita por Mary Shelley dramaturga, ensayista y biógrafa. Es una novela gótica y revolucionaria generando una profunda reflexión moral sobre el poder de la creación del hombre y las consecuencias de sus actos. La historia crecía alimentada por los propios fantasmas de Mary; el sentimiento de pérdida por la muerte de su madre y su primera hija y la separación de su padre dieron luz a una novela sobre la muerte y la vida, la responsabilidad de la paternidad y las consecuencias de desafiar al orden establecido. “Cuidado porque no tengo miedo y por lo tanto soy poderoso'.

"Diese Hörbuchbox enthält: Frankenstein / Der Sandmann / Der seltsame Fall des Dr. Jekyll und Mr. Hyde / Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray Die Schauerliteratur entfaltet ihre düstere Faszination durch das Spiel mit den Schatten der menschlichen Seele. Diese Box bietet die zeitlosen Klassiker der Schauerliteratur, meisterhaft interpretiert von Regina Münch, Gerd Wameling, Klaus Nägelen und Wolfgang Reichmann. Mary Shelley: Frankenstein Über 200 Jahre alt und dennoch unvergessen: Die Geschichte des jungen Schweizer Naturwissenschaftlers Viktor Frankenstein, der aus toter Materie einen künstlichen Menschen erschafft. Durch die Grausamkeit seiner Umwelt wird dieser zum gefürchteten Monster. Mit ihrem Debüt 'Frankenstein' stellt die damals 19-jährige Mary Shelley zeitlose Fragen nach dem Umgang mit der Natur, der Verantwortung der Wissenschaft und Ausgrenzung. E. T. A. Hoffmann: Der Sandmann Der Student Nathanael berichtet von einer unheimlichen Begegnung: Im Wetterglashändler Coppola glaubt er den Advokaten Coppelius, die Schreckensgestalt seiner Kindheit, wiedererkannt zu haben. Coppelius hatte seinen Vater zu alchemistischen Experimenten verführt und ist für dessen Tod verantwortlich. Geplagt von diesem Trauma fällt es Nathanael zunehmend schwer, zwischen Wahn und Wirklichkeit zu unterscheiden, bis ihm am Ende nur die Flucht in den Freitod bleibt. Robert Louis Stevenson: Der seltsame Fall des Dr. Jekyll und Mr. Hyde Bei einem spektakulären Experiment spaltet der angesehene Londoner Arzt Henry Jekyll seine Seele in Gut und Böse. Mit einem Trank kann er sich in sein gewissenloses Alter Ego Mr. Hyde verwandeln. Zunächst empfindet Jekyll die Spaltung als befreiend, doch bald verliert er die Kontrolle über den sadistischen Hyde, der zur Bedrohung für seinen Ruf und sein Leben wird. Oscar Wilde: Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray Dorian Gray wünscht sich, dass sein Bild anstelle seiner selbst altert, während er sein Porträt betrachtet. Dieser Wunsch wird Realität: Sein exzessives Leben bleibt ihm scheinbar erspart, doch er muss immer wieder in die dunkle Kammer, wo er das Bild versteckt. Dort gräbt sich jede unmoralische Entscheidung und Verfehlung tief ein, während er selbst makellos bleibt. Doch sein zügelloses Leben bleibt nicht ohne Folgen."
