Gray’s wonderful novel that inspired Yorgos Lanthimos’ award-winning masterpiece.
A life without freedom of choice is not worth living.
Theonikos Baxter’s ambitions to create the perfect companion come to life when he discovers the body of beautiful Bella, which he brings back to life in a Frankenstein-like scientific miracle. However, his dream is shattered by Dr. Archibald McKerry’s stormy love for her.
But Bella has her own desires to pursue. Thus, she is left to passions and desires, on a journey that leads her from aristocratic casinos to the origins of Alexandria and to marginal Paris. Exploring her position as a woman in the shadow of patriarchy, Bella knows it’s up to her to conquer her freedom and decide what meaning true love has in her life.
Alisder Gray’s most popular book is a story about the essence of love and scientific daring, but especially about the value of our freedom of choice in life.
A modern classic that Mary Shelley, Lewis Carroll and Arthur Conan Doyle would love.
