Mary Shelley was an English writer. She was born in London, England, in 1797. She wrote several novels. ‘Frankenstein’, which was written in 1818, is her most famous novel. It tells the story of a scientist who created a human being with terrible results. Many famous horror films have been made about that man-made monster. Mary Shelley’s other novels include ‘Valpurga’ (1823), which is set in medieval Italy, and “The Last Man’ (1826), in which a killer disease wipes out humanity with the exception of one lone survivor. She was the second wife of Percy Shelley, one of the most distinguished English poets. Together they travelled in Europe and lived in France and Italy. After her husband's death in 1822 she returned to England where she continued to write. She died in London in 1851. Where and when was she born? What is ‘Frankenstein’ about? What are some of her other novels about? Who was she married to? Where did they live? When did she die? aaron = Lesson 1 | Chapter 1 From Captain Walton’s Log Book aa Listening a) Listen to the cassette and fill in the gaps with no more than two words.
