With its riveting blend of horror and science fiction, Frankenstein has gripped the public’s imagination since its publication in 1818. Now Sam Ita, the genius of paper engineering and art, transforms Mary Shelley’s tragic masterpiece into an unforgettable, stunning, and accessible pop-up book. For the third time, Ita—who created the magnificent Moby Dick and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea pop-ups—successfully captures the rich, dark drama of his source through amazing images. The entire story unfolds almost cinematically, in a potent mix of graphic novel panels and spectacular three-dimensional designs. The gothic building where Dr. Frankenstein carries out his sinister experiment rises high on the page; a scaffold, complete with a rope noose, emerges threateningly; and the misunderstood, rageful monster looms large and menacing, ready to destroy all in his path. This is pure visual magic, and a wonderful way to experience a classic.

Krvilačná beštia, čo sa pohráva so všetkými loďami plávajúcimi okolo, aby smrteľne vystrašených námorníkov napokon zhltla vo svojej obrovskej papuli. Veria tomu všetci námorníci veľrybárskych lodí v blízkom okolí, rozprávajúc si hrôzostrašné detaily zo stretnutia s ňou. Nazývajú ju Moby Dick a veria, že je stelesneným diablom. Kapitán lode Peguod, námorníkmi prezývaný Hromovládca, sa s ňou stretol tiež a vyzval ju na boj na život a na smrť. Námorníci mu musia obetovať pred plavbou na jeho lodi svoje duše. Prenasledovanie sa začína.

“Call me Ishmael.” Three of the most famous words in all literature, they begin Herman Melville’s masterpiece, Moby-Dick. Now, the epic saga of Captain Ahab’s obsessive quest for the white whale comes vividly to life in this three-dimensional graphic novel, the first of its kind. This phenomenal work is the creation of multi-talented artist Sam Ita, apprentice to Robert Sabuda—one of the world’s master paper engineers. Every amazing element is awe-inspiring: there’s not just one pop-up per spread, but several, surrounded by colorful comic book-style panels that convey the story’s drama.Some of the pops-ups are huge and incredibly detailed, like the Pequod itself, which rises gloriously from the page, complete with rigging. Others, smaller but no less wonderful, hide beneath flaps and folds. In one instance, readers actually get to look through a 3-D periscope and see Ishmael through the “lens,” drifting in the ocean.The quality of Ita’s paper engineering is nothing short of breathtaking and will carry you off on an unforgettable adventure.
