Dive into the world of gothic horror and timeless moral dilemmas with Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, an essential work in the history of literature. Published by Chartwell Books (Chartwell Classics), this beautifully crafted edition presents Shelley’s groundbreaking novel, often considered the first science fiction story.
First published in 1818, Frankenstein tells the tragic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist who, in his quest for knowledge, creates a living creature from body parts. However, the monster’s appearance and unnatural origins lead to rejection and violence, sparking a relentless pursuit of revenge that culminates in destruction and tragedy for both creator and creation.
With its dark exploration of human nature, the consequences of unchecked ambition, and a powerful critique of the desire to play God, Frankenstein remains as relevant today as it was over two centuries ago. Shelley’s work introduces themes of alienation, responsibility, and the moral consequences of scientific discovery—issues that continue to resonate in our modern world.
