Witness a chilling tale of ambition and creation gone awry. Dr. Victor
Frankenstein, driven by a thirst for knowledge, assembles a grotesque creature
from stolen body parts. Horrified by his creation, he abandons it, setting off
a chain of tragic events. The lonely and misunderstood creature seeks revenge
on its creator, unleashing a haunting battle between man and monster.
Shelley's masterpiece delves into themes of ethics, identity, and the
consequences of playing god. A gripping Gothic novel that continues to
resonate, "Frankenstein" is a cautionary tale that explores the boundaries of
science and the depths of the human soul.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was a brilliant and pioneering British writer, best
known for her groundbreaking novel "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus."
Born Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, she emerged as a literary prodigy, fusing
Gothic horror with thought-provoking themes of science, ethics, and the human
condition. Her iconic creation, the tormented scientist Victor Frankenstein
and his monstrous creation, has become a timeless symbol of the consequences
of unchecked ambition and the essence of humanity.
As the daughter of esteemed intellectuals Mary Wollstonecraft and William
Godwin, Shelley was destined for literary greatness. Her tumultuous life,
marked by personal loss and intense creativity, profoundly influenced her
literary works. A true trailblazer in a male-dominated era, she defied
convention and carved a path for female writers, leaving an indelible mark on
literature and inspiring generations of authors to come. Mary Shelley's legacy
endures as a testament to the power of the imagination and the enduring
fascination with the dark corners of the human psyche.
