Frankenstein (From bestseller to blockbuster 2)

From Bestseller to Blockbuster is a collection of books that triumphed both in the publishing world and on the big screen. This time, it's the turn of horror, a genre that has captivated both readers and moviegoers.

"Before my eyes always appeared the figure of the monster to whom I had given existence."

In 1818, Mary Shelley anonymously published what would become her masterpiece: Frankenstein . It's one of the most frequently adapted horror novels, but perhaps none as iconic as the 1931 film directed by James Whale and starring Colin Clive and Boris Karloff, who immortalized the image of the most famous monster.

The story is well-known: a scientist decides to create a living creature, only to later reject it. A metaphor for life, freedom, and love, it's a wonderful fable with all the ingredients of the great myths, a true classic that we now bring back to this collection.
