Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. They can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. In this volume the Mad Scientist takes centre stage. Naturally the stories come in all shapes and sizes and in the pens of our classic authors the scientists more usually arrive as dark, twisted and evil as they go about their work illuminating humanity as only a mad scientist can.

Schon über 200 Jahre alt und dennoch unvergessen: Die Geschichte des jungen Schweizer Naturwissenschaftlers Viktor Frankenstein, der aus toter Materie einen künstlichen Menschen zusammenbaut.

Mit ihrem Debüt "Frankenstein" stellt die damals 19-jährige Mary Shelley bis heute gültige Fragen nach dem Umgang mit der Natur, der Verantwortung von Wissenschaft, nach Normen und Ausgrenzung. Eindrucksvoll liest Regina Münch den berühmtesten Schauerroman der Literaturgeschichte.

Woven into these stories are instructions on how to die well, not only in what spirit we face death itself, but also through instructions on what is necessary to prepare our families, to ready our estates, and to manage all the players who may be involved in our deaths.
