Description
Brilliant, driven Victor Frankenstein has at last realised his greatest ambition. The scientist has succeeded in creating intelligent life. But when his creature first stirs, Frankenstein realises he has made a monster. And, abandoned by its maker and shunned by everyone who sees it, the Doctor's creation sets out to destroy him and all that he holds dear.
Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN remains one of the greatest horror stories ever written, a book that chillingly captures the unforeseen terror of playing God. And the heart-stopping fear of being pursued by a powerful, relentless killer.

É impressionante pensar que este romance foi escrito por uma jovem de apenas dezoito anos. Shelley utiliza o horror não para assustar, mas para discutir responsabilidade, ambição e solidão. O verdadeiro monstro nunca é apenas a criatura, mas também o homem incapaz de assumir as consequências de seus próprios atos. A escrita mantém um tom melancólico que acompanha toda a narrativa, fazendo do livro muito mais uma tragédia do que uma história de terror. É um clássico que continua relevante sempre que a ciência avança mais rápido do que a ética.
