<p>Mary Shelley nació en Londres en agosto de 1797. Es hija de la famosa filósofa Mary Wollstonecraft, precursora del movimiento feminista, y de William Godwin, novelista y político radical. Su vida es un constante escape del conformismo de la época, repleta de encuentros frecuentes con importantes artistas y escritores. A los diecisiete años, Mary se escapa a Francia con su futuro esposo, el poeta romántico Percy Bysshe Shelley, y en los años siguientes los dos viajan a Europa en compañía de la medio hermana de Mary, Claire, y su amante, el famoso Lord Byron. En 1816, los cuatro se alojaron en Villa Diodati, en el lago Lemán, junto con el médico y escritor John Polidori. Para engañar al aburrimiento en los días de lluvia, se desafían mutuamente a escribir una «historia que despierte verdadero terror». Mary, de diecinueve años, crea uno de los monstruos más emblemáticos de la literatura mundial, Frankenstein, o el Prometeo moderno, la encarnación del antiguo miedo del hombre a lo desconocido y lo diferente.\nENGLISH:<br />
Mary Shelley was born in London in August 1797. She is the daughter of the famous philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft, a forerunner of the feminist movement, and William Godwin, a radical novelist and politician. Her life is a constant escape from the conformism of the time, replete with frequent encounters with important artists and writers. At seventeen, Mary escapes to France with her future husband, the romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and in the following years the two travel to Europe in the company of Mary's half-sister, Claire, and her lover, the famous Lord Byron. In 1816, the four of them stayed at Villa Diodati, on Lake Geneva, together with the physician and writer John Polidori. To cheat boredom on rainy days, they challenge each other to write a "truly terrifying story." Nineteen-year-old Mary creates one of the most iconic monsters in world literature, Frankenstein, or the modern Prometheus, the embodiment of man's ancient fear of the unknown and the different.</p>
