Marry Wollstonecraft Shelly - "Frankenstein" (1818)

Marry Wollstonecraft Shelly was the daughter of Marry Wollstonecraft. These two woman are both famous.

Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. (Wikipedia)

The public did not learn until years later that this masterpiece had been penned by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. Shelley had written the work on a rainy day in 1816, when she was only nineteen. Incredibly, twenty-year-old John Polidori was simultaneously inventing the vampire genre just down the hall in the same Geneva villa. (trademarkandcopyrightlawblog.com)

Voltaire - "Candide" (1759)

Candide is a French satire written by a philosopher of the Age Of Enlightenment

It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism by his mentor, Professor Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow and painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. [Wikipedia]

Candide is the story of a gentle man who, though pummeled and slapped in every direction by fate, clings desperately to the belief that he lives in "the best of all possible worlds." [Goodreads]
