«Frankenstein» is the gothic novel by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, published by Wordsworth in hardback in 1997, in English.
Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who defies the limits of life, creates a being from fragments of corpses. Horrified by his work, he abandons it; the creature, marginalized by its appearance, sinks into solitude and resentment. The novel thus raises the creator's responsibility and the rejection of the different.
Work originally published in 1818 as «Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus».
Aimed at readers of gothic horror and science fiction classics, with a regular presence in reading clubs and school reading lists.
