Description
Die revolutionäre Serie von Graphic Novels vermittelt klassische Literatur ganz unkonventionell als Comic in den Niveaustufen B1 - B2. Die Kombination aus vereinfachten Texten und aussagekräftigen Bildern, die der modernen Comicästhetik entsprechen, eignet sich besonders gut, auch weniger lesegeübte Lernende für die großen Romane und Dramen zu begeistern. Jeder Titel enthält neben einem Glossar zu Schlüsselwörtern und Protagonisten ausführliche Hindergrundinformationen zu Autor und Werk und liefert nützliche Tipps zur Plotanalyse.
Die integrierten Audio-CDs erwecken die Story als fesselndes Hörspiel zum Leben, aufgenommen mit professionellen englischen Schauspielern.
Frankenstein is set during a time when there were many new scientific discoveries and anything seemed possible - even the creation of life itself. Victor Frankenstein becomes obsessed with this idea and works hard to prove his theories; but his dream quickly turns into a nightmare - not just for him, but for his family and friends too.
Frankenstein, conceived by Mary Shelley on a rainy night in the mountains of Switzerland in 1816, asks questions about the danger and responsibility of knowledge and the notion that pride must have its fall. Here, Shelley´s classic horror story is brought to life through fantastic gothic illustrations, and is adapted so that intermediate language learners can enjoy this haunting tale as well.
