Frankenstein

by Mary Shelley

English 240 pages 1 edition

‘Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.’ Obsessed with wishing to create new life, scientist Victor Frankenstein scours graveyards to stitch together body parts in a fevered attempt to bring a man to life. But defying nature results in a monster instead of a marvel. A creature shunned, unloved and all too aware of its unnatural existence. Cast out by its maker, the creature forgoes love for vengeance and sets out to destroy everything Frankenstein holds dear. Widely considered as one of the world’s first works of science fiction, Frankenstein is a chilling tale of creation, isolation and the haunting price of unchecked ambition.
