Frankenstein
About this book
A man's ambition gives life to a creature—and unleashes a nightmare.
Frankenstein (1818), by Mary Shelley, is one of the most influential novels in history, blending gothic horror with profound questions of science, morality, and humanity.
The story follows Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist who discovers how to animate life. But when his creation awakens, Victor recoils in horror, abandoning the being he brought into existence. The Creature, intelligent yet rejected and tormented, seeks both understanding and revenge, setting in motion a tragic confrontation between maker and made.
Far more than a ghost story, Frankenstein is a meditation on ambition, isolation, responsibility, and the dangers of unchecked scientific progress. Shelley, writing at only eighteen, crafted a tale that remains hauntingly relevant in today's age of technology and discovery.
Celebrated as the birth of science fiction, yet steeped in gothic atmosphere, Frankenstein endures as one of the most powerful and thought-provoking classics ever written.
