About this audiobook
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin was born in 1797, the daughter of two of the leading radical writers of the age. Her mother died just days after her birth and she was educated at home by her father and encouraged in literary pursuits. She eloped with and subsequently married the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, but their life together was full of hardship. The couple were ruined by disapproving parents and Mary lost three of her four children. Although its subject matter was extremely dark, her first novel Frankenstein (1818) was an instant sensation. Subsequent works such as Mathilda (1819), Valperga (1823) and The Last Man (1826) were less successful but are now finally receiving the critical acclaim that they deserve.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sad...What would you do if you had unknowingly taken an elixir to make you immortal?This is what our main character poses the question of. Working under the alchemist professor Cornelius Agrippa he stumbles upon a work of his in person form that the professor states will cure him of his infatuation with love. And after drinking half of the elixir our main character finds out that it does so much more.I can't imagine how it would be in the beginning stages of immortality. To stay young while everyone around you grows old and eventually dies. I can't imagine watching loved ones or even my husband in a situation like that. I guess death isn't for everyone but it is something that everyone must face.This uncanny and beautiful writing style comes straight to you from the notorious Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and, as I stated about her beloved Frankenstein novel, this one is simply a classic. Highly recommend.
