Audiolibro narrado en castellano. Mary Shelley (1797–1851) una de las escritoras más importantes e influyentes de la literatura británica del Siglo XIX, creadora del doctor y su monstruo “Frankenstein o el moderno Prometeo” (1818) además de sus novelas escribió numerosos relatos de marcado carácter gótico. La presente edición reúne dos de sus relatos cortos; bajo un tumultuoso ambiente romántico con personajes sometidos a la influencia de fuertes pasiones que dan pie a sucesos sobrenaturales y extraordinarios.
» “El mortal inmortal” – 1833 Pasiones desatadas y sentimientos arrebatados hacen que un hombre llamado Winzy pupilo del maestro alquimista Cornelius Agrippa beba un misterioso brebaje preparado por su mentor, dejándonos saber si se trata de una bendición o una maldición. El amor se corrompe con el tiempo y la muerte se convierte en el mayor de los anhelos, es la única manera de escapar de un destino infausto.
» “La transformación” – 1830 Pactos diabólicos, noches tenebrosas, parajes sombríos, tormentas, crueldad humana y monstruos… Misteriosos temores de nuestra propia naturaleza humana destruyen los límites del mismo intelecto convirtiéndose en el tirano que mueve todos los actos de Guido el protagonista del relato, cuyo orgullo y vicios lo han alejado inevitablemente de la senda del bien.
“No deseo que las mujeres tengan más poder que los hombres, sino que tengan más poder sobre sí mismas”. Mary Shelley (1797–1851)
Escrita en 1818 sigue siendo una de las novelas de terror más famosas de todos los tiempos. Cuenta la historia de Victor Frankenstein, un científico que logra infundir vida a un ser formado a partir de trozos de cadáveres. Sin medir las consecuencias de ese acto, Victor crea un monstruo. La criatura, que es rechazada por él y por cuantos se encuentra en su camino, se rebela contra su creador y decide vengarse. El terror lo invadirá todo.Por medio de esta novela se pone en relieve los aspectos de la ética en la ciencia, la tolerancia a la diferencia y el amor.
Der arrogante und verschwenderische Guido kehrt nach Jahren der Ausschweifungen wieder nach Genua zurück, um seine Jugendliebe Juliet zu heiraten. Doch als er sich mit ihrem Vater überwirft, verbannt ihn dieser. Einsam seines Weges wandernd, trifft er überraschend einen merkwürdigen Gnom, der ihm ein teuflisches Angebot macht: Drei Tage Körpertausch und als Belohnung die Macht, Rache zu üben... Außerdem auf diesem Hörbuch: 'Der falsche Vers' und 'Die Trauernde'.
When a young man squanders his inheritance and scornfully refuses the help of a family friend, he descends into miserable fury. At his lowest point, upon a jagged beach overlooking a sea suddenly violent with storm, he encounters a twisted deity that offers him wealth and revenge . . . for an unconscionable price.
'Transformation' is a disturbing tale of recklessness and pride, an eerie Gothic twist on the scriptural prodigal son narrative by the mother of horror Mary Shelley.
Transformation
Fernando Eboli
The Evil Eye
These three tales were written for the popular literary gift annual The Keepsake in 1828, 1829 and 1831. Their ‘sensational’ themes include exotic locations, dire misfortune, long-lost kin, stolen identity, evil redeemed, plots resolved by strange coincidences, and in one case at least, an encounter with a supernatural being. Gothic fare.
The cover image is taken from an illustration to The Evil Eye in The Keepsake for 1830.

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author's brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted 'Top Tens' across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions - Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.Those taken away by their own hand leave many questions and many sorrows. In this volume ten of our vaunted authors share stories of tragedy and the early demise of characters who take a tortured path of no return.01 - The Top 10 - Suicide - An Introduction02 - In the Penal Colony by Franz Kafka03 - Suicides by Guy de Maupassant04 - The Victory by Rabindranath Tagore05 - Paul's Case by Willa Cather06 - Claude Gueux by Victor Hugo07 - The Mourner by Mary Shelley08 - A Slav Soul by Alexander Kuprin09 - Cohen of Trinity by Amy Levy10 - A Passion in the Desert by Honoré de Balzac11 - The Quadroons by Lydia Maria Child
Born in 1797, her Mother died when she was only 11 days old. Mary was then raised by her Father, who remarried when she was four, with a liberal but informal upbringing. At 17 she began the relationship with the poet Percy Byshe Shelley which was the bedrock of her life; although society viewed the unmarrieds somewhat differently. It was in this relationship that she nurtured and edited Shelley’s verse and wrote, at 21, her signature work “Frankenstein” for which she is so well known. Her husband drowned when she was 25 which added further to the earlier loss of 3 of her 4 children. Beset with such great tragedy, at only 53 a brain tumour was to take her own life. In this volume we turn our attention to her short stories which creep with menace and view the world with a very suspicious eye.
An ancient alchemist drags out his weary life in search of the elixir of immortality. But, when his vengeful assistant quaffs the mixture, he discovers that the effects of the draft of immortality may never wear off. Mary Shelley explores the concept of immortality, following a character that never ages through a ponderous and thought provoking life.
