Frankenstein

A forbidden experiment. A created being. A question that still haunts humanity.

From the frozen silence of the Arctic to the shadowed laboratories of Europe, Frankenstein unfolds as a dark meditation on ambition, responsibility, and the fragile boundary between creation and destruction. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley crafts a tale where scientific curiosity dares to rival nature—and pays a terrible price.

Written at the dawn of the 19th century, Shelley’s novel stands at the crossroads of Gothic fiction, early science fiction, and philosophical inquiry. Influenced by Enlightenment thought and Romantic anxieties, Frankenstein questions the limits of human knowledge, the ethics of creation, and the loneliness born of rejection.

Listeners follow Victor Frankenstein’s obsessive pursuit of forbidden knowledge, the momentous act that gives life to an unnamed being, and the creature’s anguished journey through a world that fears and abandons him. Each part of the novel deepens the moral tension, revealing shifting perspectives without ever resolving its central dilemma too easily.

More than a tale of horror, Frankenstein has left a permanent mark on global culture. Its themes—unchecked progress, moral accountability, and the human need for connection—remain strikingly relevant in an age of rapid technological advancement.

This audiobook offers an immersive listening experience, allowing Shelley’s layered narrative and atmospheric prose to resonate fully. The AI narration provides clarity, measured intensity, and consistency, making the complex structure and emotional depth accessible and compelling throughout.

Enter the shadows of a timeless masterpiece. Listen now and rediscover Frankenstein, a story that continues to challenge, disturb, and fascinate generations of listeners.
