Autor

Mary Shelley, born in 1797, was the daughter of philosopher William Godwin and feminist pioneer Mary Wollstonecraft. Raised in a progressive household, she grew up surrounded by radical thinkers, which deeply influenced her views and writings. Despite losing her mother shortly after birth, she was encouraged to embrace intellectual pursuits and developed a love for literature early on.At just 16, Shelley began a passionate relationship with poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Their union, often controversial, was marked by travel, tragedy, and literary collaboration. It was during a trip to Switzerland in 1816 that she conceived her most famous novel, Frankenstein, a work that would become a cornerstone of Gothic fiction and early science fiction.After Percy's untimely death in 1822, Mary Shelley dedicated herself to raising their son and continuing her literary career. Her later works explored themes of politics, society, and personal loss. Today, she is celebrated not only for Frankenstein, but also for her profound influence on literature and her efforts to promote her late husband's legacy.
