Description


The classic science fiction thriller that started them all

A tortured scientist, a terrible experiment gone horribly wrong. Mary Shelley's classic tale of hubris and humanity revolutionised science fiction and paved the way for such luminaries as Isaac Asimov, George Orwell and Ursula Le Guin.

Dr. Victor Frankenstein, driven by his own desire to control the power of life and death, devises a plan to create a living being from nothing. Months of grave robbing and feverish work produce The Monster, a man stitched together from the corpses of the dead, bathed in stolen afterbirth. Horrified, Dr. Frankenstein abandons his creation. What follows next is a story of horror so profound that the very name "Frankenstein" has become synonymous with violations of nature and the overreach of science.

Author: Shelley, Mary
Mary Shelley (1797-1851), the only daughter of writers William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, and wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley, is the critically acclaimed author of Frankenstein, Valperga, and The Last Man, in addition to many other works. Mary Shelley s writings reflect and were influenced by a number of literary traditions including Gothic and Romantic ideals, and Frankenstein is widely regarded as the first modern work of science fiction. Today s scholarship of Mary Shelley s writings reveal her to be a political radical, as demonstrated though recurring themes of cooperation and sympathy, particularly among women, in her work, which are in direct conflict with the individual Romantic ideals of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
