Victor Tavares Knihy

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read A popular bestseller since its publication in 1844, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the great page-turning thrillers of all time. Set against the tumultuous years of the post-Napoleonic era, Alexandre Dumas’s grand historical romance recounts the swashbuckling adventures of Edmond Dantès, a dashing young sailor falsely accused of treason. The story of his long imprisonment, dramatic escape, and carefully wrought revenge offers up a vision of France that has become immortal. As Robert Louis Stevenson declared, “I do not believe there is another volume extant where you can breathe the same unmingled atmosphere of romance.”

Kniha patrí medzi jeden z najznámejších gotických románov, ktorý bol viacnásobne filmovo spracovaný a inšpiroval veľké množstvo nových hororových príbehov. Aj napriek všeobecnému povedomiu mnohých prekvapí fakt, že Frankenstein nie je meno samotného monštra, ale jeho vynálezcu. Omylom je aj charakter stvorenia – vyzerá síce ohavne, vo vnútri je však múdry a emocionálne cítiaci. Rozprávajúc svoj príbeh od stvorenia po opätovné stretnutie so svojim tvorcom, odhaľuje nemožnosť nájsť blízkosť vo vzťahu kvôli svojej desivej podobe. Zaväzuje preto Frankensteina, aby mu stvoril jemu podobnú ženu. Tvorca svoj sľub nesplní a netvor zo zúfalstva a hnevu zabije Frankensteinovu manželku. Román sa končí tragicky – netvor prosí svojho tvorcu o odpustenie až nad jeho hrobom, zatiaľ čo on sám zomiera.
