A heat sensitive edition of the iconic Ray Bradbury novel Fahrenheit 451, which depicts a future in which all books are burned. (Fahrenheit 451 – the temperature at which book paper catches fire, and burns…). (By French publisher, Super Terrain). #BookSky #ReadingPledge

Novelist, poet & essayist Mary Shelley died #OTD in 1851. Daughter of famed philosopher & feminist, Mary Wollstonecraft, Shelley is best known for her 1818 Gothic novel 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘯: 𝘰𝘳, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘶𝘴. poetryfoundation.org/poets/mary-w... #literature #litsky #booksky
A dramatic, artistic composite portrait of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797–1851), the English novelist best known as the author of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818). The image overlays a classic 19th-century oil painting-style depiction of Shelley—shown in a three-quarter view with pale skin, dark curly hair parted in the center and falling softly around her face, large expressive brown eyes gazing directly and thoughtfully at the viewer, and wearing a low-cut black off-the-shoulder gown typical of Regency-era fashion—onto a dark, textured background filled with layers of translucent, handwritten manuscript text in faded ink. The overlaid script appears to be excerpts from Frankenstein (or closely related drafts), featuring Mary Shelley’s own elegant, flowing cursive handwriting with crossed-out words, revisions, and phrases such as “the wretched phantom,” “catastrophe,” “limbs,” “rain,” “window,” “features,” “great God,” “skin scarcely covered,” “work of muscles and arteries,” and other evocative fragments describing the Creature’s creation and appearance. The text swirls and overlaps around her face and shoulders like ghostly memories or the very pages of her groundbreaking novel coming to life, creating a haunting, literary effect that symbolizes how her personal experiences, intellectual circle (including Percy Shelley and Lord Byron), and the famous 1816 ghost-story contest at Villa Diodati inspired one of literature’s most enduring and influential works on creation, responsibility, isolation, and the ethics of science.
