Esta adaptação do romance Frankenstein, de Mary Shelley, para o formato de audiolivro é marcada pela densidade do áudio. A trilha sonora, composta por uma variada gama de sons e temas remixados, acompanha a ambientação do texto com passagens súbitas de climas de romance e leveza para situações de suspense, terror e medo. No papel da Criatura, o dublador Guilherme Lopes, que já emprestou sua voz a personagens inesquecíveis, como o Barbárvore, de O Senhor dos Anéis, utiliza seu registro grave de voz e sua capacidade de interpretação para dar a verdadeira dimensão do sofrimento e do ódio que acomete esse ser monstruoso mas de sentimentos tão humanos. Co-produção da Livro Falante com a Editora DCL.
One of the greatest classic horror stories, Mary Shelley's Gothic novel sees Dr Frankenstein manufacture life - The Monster - only to see it go beyond his control. The original novel is more sympathetic to the monster's plight than is generally presented on film, making it an important book to be read. This abridged version with music is an ideal introduction to teenagers, making it a key release in the first year of Naxos AudioBooks' new series 'Young Adult Classics'. Comes with an embedded CD-ROM containing A Study Guide and both the abridged and unabridged text.
Mary Shelley’s tragic story of a scientist who created a monster is perhaps even more compelling and meaningful today than when it was written nearly two centuries ago. From the bits and pieces of dead bodies, and the power of electricity, the brilliant Victor Frankenstein fashions a new form of life—only to discover, too late, the irreparable damage he has caused.
