Frankenstein

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a landmark of Gothic literature and one of the earliest works of science fiction. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist, becomes obsessed with uncovering the secrets of life. His experiments culminate in the creation of a living being, but Victor is horrified by what he has brought into the world and abandons his creation.

Rejected by his creator and by society, the Creature struggles to understand humanity, longing for companionship and acceptance. As isolation turns to anger, he demands that Victor confront the consequences of his actions, setting both on a tragic path of pursuit, revenge, and destruction. Told through layered narratives of exploration, confession, and memory, the novel explores ambition, scientific responsibility, loneliness, prejudice, identity, and the boundaries of human knowledge. Atmospheric, philosophical, and deeply unsettling, Frankenstein remains a powerful examination of what can happen when the desire to create surpasses the responsibility to care for what has been created.
