Mary Shelley
Soon to be a major new film adaptation written and directed by Guillermo del Toro
This special unabridged, multivoiced production of Mary Shelley’s masterpiece of nineteenth-century Gothic horror is narrated by film and television star Anthony Heald, joined by Grammy winner Stefan Rudnicki and actor Simon Templeman, under the direction of award-winning audio producer Yuri Rasovsky.
Dr. Victor Frankenstein, an ambitious young scientist, is consumed by a fanatic desire to create a living being. He fashions an eight-foot creature and succeeds in animating him but, horrified by his visage, perceives his creation to be a monster and frightens him away. The monster, wandering in search of human companionship, is spurned and repulsed by all he approaches and learns to hate and to kill. He confronts his maker with a terrible choice: unless Frankenstein creates for him a mate, he will go on a rampage of destruction.
A subversive tale about the corrupt tendencies in humanity’s most “civilized” ambitions, this haunting thriller, the original science fiction novel, maintains its hold in the collective imagination centuries after its first publication.
(P)2008 Blackstone Audio, Inc.Eleştirmen yorumları
“All three voices are expressive, the vocal acting highly skilled. This is a vibrant rendition of a tragic story that, even with its old-fashioned prose, is often powerful.”
(AudioFile)“A subtle and ironic prophecy that raises the question of who exactly is the real monster in this story.”
(500 Great Books by Women)“Frankenstein has the theoretical and cautionary tone of science fiction.”
(Joyce Carol Oates, multiaward–winning American Author)Would you listen to Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus again? Why?
Yes. The cast really brought it to life and the "voices" were perfectly pitched for the tone and age of the material.What other book might you compare Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus to, and why?
There's shades of Poe in the Frankenstein narration. Certainly he needs to cheer up a bit, and oh yes maybe realise it's his mess so he should clear it up.Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favourite?
Walton. I could listen to Simon Templeman all day.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When the creature realises he will never be accepted by other people.Great cast

to add something which might be relevant to someone that does not have English as their first language - this book was mostly easy to understand for me as a non-native English speaker. some of the words are a bit outdated but most are easy to understand from their context.
Highly recommended! Simon Templeman shines

First-Class Reading of this Profound Tale

I went into this audiobook thinking I knew the story already but I was wrong. The popular movie depictions that I've seen growing up are not anything like the original story.
All narrators delivered the dialogue beautifully and the language used was so smooth and easy flowing that every moment was a pleasure.
Would recommend to any and all.
Absolute Classic!!
