Description

Enter the gothic world of "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley, where ambition and creation spiral into chaos. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist, unlocks the secrets of life, only to unleash a monstrous being forged from the remnants of the dead. As the creature grapples with alienation and humanity's darker aspects, both creator and creation embark on a haunting journey of revenge and redemption. Shelley's masterpiece probes the boundaries of scientific exploration and the depths of human emotion.

Author

Mary Shelley (1797–1851) wrote Frankenstein at nineteen and invented a myth that has never gone out of circulation. Daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, partner of Percy Shelley, she turned a ghost-story challenge beside Lake Geneva into the modern fable of maker and creature. Science, pity, and responsibility share the ice: the novel is less a monster tale than a question about what we owe what we create.
