About the book

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein follows Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who succeeds in creating life from dead matter. Horrified by the being he has made, Victor abandons it, leaving the intelligent but isolated creature to face rejection and loneliness. The novel combines Gothic horror with enduring questions about scientific responsibility, prejudice and the consequences of creation. Rejected by his creator and society, the creature becomes increasingly bitter and seeks revenge.
