Arguing with the Dead

The year is 1839, and Mary Shelley - the author of Frankenstein - is alone. Sorting through her husband's scattered papers she is reminded of their past: the half-ruined villas in Italy, the stormy relationship with Shelley and her stepsister Claire, the loss of her children, and finally, her husband's drowning on the Gulf of Spezia.

Anul este 1839, iar Mary Shelley - autorul lui Frankenstein - este singura. Sortand hartiile imprastiate ale sotului ei, ii aminteste de trecutul lor: vilele pe jumatate ruinate din Italia, relatia furtunoasa cu Shelley si sora vitrega Claire, pierderea copiilor ei si, in cele din urma, sotul ei se ineaca in Golful Spezia.
