Frankenstein

By Mary Shelley

Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" is a masterful blend of Gothic horror and profound philosophical inquiry, exploring the consequences of man's hubris in the pursuit of knowledge. The haunting tale follows Victor Frankenstein, a scientist who, in his quest to conquer death, creates a sentient being that ultimately leads to his own destruction. Shelley's rich, atmospheric prose invites readers into a world where the boundaries between creator and creature blur, raising timeless questions about responsibility, isolation, and the nature of humanity. This edition, published in 2013, offers a fresh opportunity to engage with a story that has captivated hearts and minds for nearly two centuries.
