Produktbeschreibung

What if the price of true beauty was the surrender of your very soul?

Guido, a proud, impoverished young man, stands on the brink of ruin. His only recourse is to accept a desperate bargain: a mysterious dwarf offers him untold riches and release from his misery, but only in exchange for a horrifying, seven-month trial.

The contract is simple: Guido must swap bodies with the hideous creature.

He awakens to find himself trapped in a grotesquely deformed shell, while the dwarf walks away in Guido's handsome, newly rejuvenated form, intent on stealing his fiance and his future. Trapped in a nightmare of his own making, Guido begins a frantic, desperate journey to reclaim his life and his identity before the contract expires and the transformation becomes eternal.

From the legendary author of Frankenstein, The Transformation is a chilling and brilliantly dark exploration of the profound misery of vanity and egotism and the terrifying power of a soul divorced from its body.

You may change your face, but you can never escape the monster within.

Autorenporträt

Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was the only daughter of the author and political philosopher William Godwin, and Mary Wollstonecraft, author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. In 1814 she eloped with poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, whom she married when his first wife died in 1816. She is best remembered as the author of Frankenstein, but she wrote several other works, including Valperga, The Last Man and Lodore.
