Welcome to our English-language book club!
This book club is for you if you’d like to:
• meet like-minded people and have engaging conversations about the books we read
• improve or maintain your English vocabulary, reading comprehension, and speaking skills
Participation is free for now, but registration is required so we can keep the group small and comfortable (maximum 10 people). If you’d like to join, send me an email to [email protected] and I’ll confirm your registration provided that free spots are still available.
You can order the book online at Libristo, Amazon etc., or borrow it from libraries such as Metropolitan Ervin Szabó Library.
About the book:
Obsessed with creating life itself, Victor Frankenstein plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, which he shocks into life with electricity. But his botched creature, rejected by Frankenstein and denied human companionship, sets out to destroy his maker and all that he holds dear. Mary Shelley's chilling Gothic tale was conceived when she was only eighteen, living with her lover Percy Shelley near Byron's villa on Lake Geneva. It would become the world's most famous work of horror fiction, and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity.
