Frankenstein
About this book
? "I ought to be thy Adam; but I am rather the fallen angel." ?
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is the original tale of creation and consequence—a haunting story of ambition, science, and the fragile line between life and death. Written when Shelley was just eighteen, this groundbreaking novel redefined both horror and science fiction, becoming one of the most influential works in literary history.
The story follows Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist obsessed with unlocking the secret of life. In his pursuit of forbidden knowledge, he creates a living being from the remnants of the dead—but horrified by his own success, he abandons his creation. What follows is a chilling journey of revenge, loneliness, and moral reckoning, as the Creature, rejected by his maker and by mankind, seeks both understanding and vengeance.
Shelley's novel is far more than a tale of terror—it is a philosophical exploration of creation, responsibility, and the nature of humanity itself. With its gothic atmosphere, emotional depth, and timeless moral questions, Frankenstein remains a masterpiece of imagination and empathy.
A story as relevant today as it was in 1818, Frankenstein continues to provoke reflection on science, ethics, and the cost of playing God.
