Dagens litterära datum - Frankenstein

Dagens datum, den 19:e augusti, är datumet för det sista brev vi får ta del av innan vi kastas in i Victor Frankensteins historia i boken Frankenstein av Mary Shelley.

"Yesterday the stranger said to me, "You may easily perceive, Captain Walton that I have suffered great and unparalleled misfortunes. I had determined, at one time, that the memory of these evils should die with me; but you have won me to alter my determination. You seek for knowledge and wisdom, as I once did; and I ardently hope that the gratification of your wishes may not be a serpent to sting you, as mine has been."

(Frankenstein, s. 34)
