About this book

First published in 1818, Frankenstein is one of the most influential Gothic novels ever written. Mary Shelley tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a living being from dead matter, only to reject the creature he has brought to life. The novel explores ambition, responsibility, loneliness, and the dangers of pursuing knowledge without compassion. Often seen as an early work of science fiction, Frankenstein continues to ask powerful questions about what it means to be human.
