He wanted to conquer death. What he created defied life itself.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is the haunting story of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist who dares to play god—only to be horrified by the living being he brings to life. The nameless creature, shunned by humanity, becomes a mirror of society's cruelty and man's deepest moral failures.

Written when Shelley was just 18 years old, this genre-defining novel explores themes of ambition, isolation, revenge, and the limits of scientific progress. Equal parts horror story and philosophical inquiry, Frankenstein remains one of the most influential and enduring works in literature.

This beautifully formatted edition includes period illustrations, annotations, and historical context to enhance understanding of Shelley's groundbreaking vision.

"The first true science fiction novel—and still one of the greatest." — The New York Times "A gothic and philosophical masterpiece born of genius and lightning." — The Guardian
