    Frankenstein by Mary Shelly

      (Illustrated Classics Series) 




         Mary Shelley was born on August, 30,1797. Her mother died immediately after giving birth to her. Mary married the poet P.B.Shelley in 1814. In 1816, the Shelleys visited Lord Byron on Lake Geneva. It was here that Mary got the idea for writing her novel, Frankenstein. This book made her famous. Mary , however, always remained in need of novels. She wrote novels, articles, poems, and short stories. In 1826, The Last man was published. Mary Shelley died in 1851.




  In this book there are 26 chapters. The language is used very simple in this book. This book creates more interest by giving pictures. The pictures are very attracted. There are 222 pages in this book. I read this book twice in a day.



   Frankenstein is an old classic about a scientist who creates a monster. Victor Frankenstein is a hard working young man. He discovers how to give life to an inanimate body and uses his knowledge to create a man monster.



    I liked the chapters in the story that were narrated by the monster. we can see that Victor Frankenstein was arrogant and self-righteous. This book is very heart touching, it is not horror story. The story was exceptionally well told and the writing definitely brings it to life. It's hard to believe that it came from the imagination of a 19 years old girl writing in 1818.

The Pinteresque features of The Birthday Party

The Pinteresque features of The Birthday Party In roduction:- Two of the notable facts about Harold Pinter were, first , that he was a Jew, born of Jewish parents, and , second, that he worked as an actor for some time before he became a playwright. Pinter was born on the 10 th October, 1930 in   Hackney , a London borough. By the time of his birth the Jewish population of North London had risen from about 5000 in 1880 to about 40,000. The North London Jewry was known for its solid middle class respectability and religious conformity. In view of the economic insecurity which the family felt, Pinter’s father worked very hard, working twelve hours a day, making clothes. Eventually, however the old man lost his business and had to work for somebody else. Pinter never forgot this situation in his early life – the combination of calm and unrest beauty and ugliness; and these qualities permeate his work. Personal history had deeply influenced all Pinter’s writi...
